Ottawa floods prompt sewer inflow issue diagnosis
City officials link heavy rain to an inflow infiltration problem as 2.54 inches fell in 12 hours. Cracked sanitary service lines and outdated drainage devices likely drew water into the sewer system, causing street flooding and a traffic detour near East Third Street. City has spent 300000 on repairs and removal of faulty rooftop drains and basement pumps.

The bill would issue permits next Jan 1 to qualifying Kansans age 21, with an $150 fee and eight hour training, while felons or recent mental health or substance issues would be barred.
