Reservoir level in Coralville may not reach the 680 foot summer target for the Fourth of July. State officials warn the drought year has reduced inflow from the Taw River and some upstream islands are blocked by dried sand. Between 10 and 14 days are needed to reach the target, with outflow cutbacks planned to aid the rise.
The Muskie baseball team extended its skid to four losses in a 6-4 setback at Bettendorf. Muskies trailed 5-0 after Bettendorf exploded in the first inning, then rallied to score four runs but fell short.
