Officials see Corps softening on Pella water problem
City officials report a perceived shift by the Corps of Engineers over the Des Moines River water feed to Pella. Mayor Caldwell and Water Supt. Schreiner say a lawyer is compiling the city's case for partial funding of a new well. The river dam and flood-control measures reduced water, but a Corps official claimed 17 500 cubic feet per second will be released through July. The city may use flood pumps to saturate wells, and permission to acquire land for a new field hinges on hydrologist and engineer reports.
