MOORHEAD Over the summer, getting around the streets and avenues just south of Main Avenue in downtown Moorhead could sometime be like maneuvering a maze, with above-ground sewer pipes down the middle of the road and road-closed signs everywhere. But while it may appear little work is going on, the work is happening beneath the roadway. Our largest sanitary sewers in the city were made 80-90 years ago and were made of brick and mortar. When labor was cheap, they hand-built these sewer pipes into the ground, explained Moorhead City Engineer Tom Trowbridge.

DENVER (AP) Colorado wildlife officials on Wednesday urged anglers to avoid fishing along a stretch of the Colorado River because low flows during a historic drought in the U.S. West, critically warm water temperatures and sediment runoff from wildfire burn scars are all starving trout of oxygen.
The move along a 120-mile (193-kilometer) stretch of the river unusual so early in the summer is another consequence of the record heat and drought that’s afflicted the American West. The voluntary fishing ban runs from the town of Kremmling in north-central Colorado to Rifle in the western part of the state.
