Ditch Improvement Voted For by County Board at Sidney
At a Tuesday meeting of the Board of Supervisors in Sidney the vote approved enlarging and improving the Nishawn river drainage ditch from near Riverton to the Missouri river. The action alarms Hamburg residents as the town could enter the drainage district and potential lawsuits loom from the city council and others. The Nishna river’s straightening to Awlbun Iowa has increased flood risk, and officials warn that relief is needed to avert harm to Hamburg and surrounding communities during heavy rains.
