Keg Creek Ditch Plans Stir in Mills and Pottawattamie
The Silver City Times reports surveyors near completion on the Keg Creek ditch from Norwalk township in Pottawattamie county toward the Mills county line. The project would straighten the creek to drain bottom lands only as needed, potentially forcing Mills county landowners to accept the route. Proponents say sharper fall and fewer obstacles will raise land values by about 10 to 165 per acre.
