Des Moines Floods Persist as Sewage Backups Hit Homes
Rain drenched the Midwest as rivers rose and Des Moines faced backed up sewers. Reinforced dikes around the water treatment plant protected the facility, but about 1,000 homes were contaminated by sewage, and 250,000 residents lacked safe drinking water for 19 days. Schools opened with fresh closures, while crews used boats to access the waterworks and officials warned of possible further rain later in the week.
