" 26:34 arsenic is toxic and can cause serious health problems." pam mackey taylor is based in cedar rapids and also the conservation chair of the iowa chapter of the sierra club. she calls for frequent testing for coal ash sites. we wanted to test water at certain points as well. the state hygenic lab in coralville provides home and farm water testing kits. kcrg-tv 9 purchased kits to conduct our own tests -- first on september 24th near the stoney point landfill in two locations -- moose drive as well as a nearby creek on wolf avenue. here is the threshold to watch for: " dr. wichman: 24:45 the epa established drinking water standard for arsenic in public water supply is 10 parts per billion. " in both cases, the arsenic levels near stoney point were well below that standard. just a trace back 1/3 of the standard here. we took the muddy, wet process of collecting water samples near prairie creek -- with two sets of samples from the creek. first behind tait cummins and under the c street bridge as the creek leads into the cedar river. these samples...also well below the epa threshold for arsenic. we took a fall trip to lansing - in allamakee county for more collection sites. earl scooping off a dock a half-mile north of the alliant energy power plant on highway 76 also turned up a trace amount. right next to the plant is this county-run fishing access point. our collection, while not pristine from the outside, also checked out -- 6 parts per billion, still within range. " 24:50 for all of these intents and purposes, these are safe to drink, people can, based on the epa regulations, people can drink 2 liters of this water everyday for the rest of their life without adverse health effects. " " 21:30 foss. we're in full compliance with everything the d-n-r requires. part of that is because we've done a good job testing. " alliant spokesperson justin foss pointed to the energy company's coal ash recycling rate of about 80%, which he called nearly double the industry standard. what becomes of most of the coal cash... in 2015? "22:40 it goes into ready-mix for concrete roads, goes into asphalt and sub-base that goes into cattle lots." the landfill back at stoney point in cedar rapids has been topped off for decades but mackey taylor said the concerns should remain for chronic testing -- just to make certain. " 28:30 water can migrate in different directions and tests can be raised, depending on weather conditions and how much ground water is available. it's going to be an ongoing problem forever." the state hygenic lab in coralville is a resource that many people - from homeowners to farmers - may not realize has its largest lab here in eastern iowa. the lab performed about 645,000 analyses for iowans in 2014 -- with about 20% of that environmental testing such as what we conducted. meteorologist chris havely joins us. chris, not as cold as last night - but still chilly into the overnight hours? tonight will not be as cold as last night, but still on the chilly side. winds from the south will keep our temperatures from falling quickly for the first half of the night, before westerly winds take over late. our workweek will consist of a gradual warm-up, starting off with highs near freezing on monday and likely in the 50s by thursday. with this resurgence of warm air overtop a snow pack, dense fog will be a possibility from monday night through mid-week. rain becomes likely on thursday, and along with the snow melt, we will keep an eye on possible flooding in some areas. tonight: skies clearing low: 16-22 winds: w 5-10 alo: 17 dbq: 18 iow: 20tomorrow: mostly sunny high: 31-37 winds: w 5-10 alo: 31 dbq: 30 iow: 34 back to you. more than a week since democrats debated in des moines, some republicans in the 2016 presidential field spent this weekend campaigning around eastern iowa... we're about 10 weeks out from the iowa caucuses. kcrg-tv9's brea love reports on ben carson and carly fiorina's stops today in wilton.

"when they have an episode at night, the dogs will literally lick them and try to wake them up and get them back to a comfort zone." and help the hearing- impaired. the job a dog ends up doing all depends on his or her unique personality. "so are they really happy using their nose? if that's the case, we'll train them to be diabetic alert dogs. if they're really busy and they want to work all the time, and just really be after it, then a hearing dog is a really good place for that dog." but deafinitely dogs is in need of puppy parents who are willing to raise them and housebreak them, until they're ready to take on the more advanced training.
