Elizabeth water works is suing three counties, for not doing enough to keep agricultural nitrate runoff out of the Raccoon River, des moines main water supply.

Rose its an environmental issue Des Moines Water Works wants to keep current. Beyond the law here, and do something we think is right for surface Water Quality in iowa. Rose the present system dumps nitrate and chloride or salt into the Raccoon River. High chemical levels could cause Drinking Water and wildlife issues downstream. Instead of putting it into the Raccoon River like we are able to do under the law, were going to connect it with a pipeline. Rose that would run from the water works plant under the Raccoon River to a sewer that goes to the Wastewater Treatment plant. About 300,000 gallons of water a day would go through the pipeline. By volume its not that much. By concentration, it is a pretty significant load of chlorides and nitrates. Get diluted by the 65 million gallons of water going through the plant each day. That brings the salt levels down, and the nitrates . 40 gets extracted into this energyrich sludge, used to make biogas and fertilizer. As much possible of that we put into bio solids and send it out to farm fields where it rose in the end, 60 of the nitrates go back in the water and rejoin with the des moines river. Operating costs could reach about a quarter of a million each year but leaders say , theyre more focused on the end cost. Thinking downstream is very important. We wish producers upstream from us on the Raccoon River would think more about the environmental impacts of what theyre doing downstream.
