The Iowa Department of Natural Resources met with the Washington County Supervisors this week to review progress of the sanitary sewer projects in Richmond and Rubio. Supervisor Jack Seward reported the DNR officials expressed amazement of the work to date and accepted the summary but are not lifting the consent order yet. There are still some systems in both communities that need to be tested and work is underway on the five systems that are non-compliant; each of the five property owners have agreements with the county to install proper systems.
