WAPELLO A drive to enhance rural and community water systems and internet service in Louisa County is continuing to gather steam, county supervisor Brad Quigley indicated Tuesday to the rest of the Louisa County supervisors during the board’s regular meeting.
During the supervisors’ individual reports on meetings they had attended the previous week, Quigley said he and other area economic development officials met with representatives of Muscatine Power and Water and Louisa Communications to discuss expanding or enhancing their services in Louisa County.
Two years ago, Quigley raised the idea of reviving earlier efforts to extend rural water into Louisa County. Those earlier efforts had taken place about 15 years ago, but the discussions were dropped after a preliminary survey was taken and too few rural residents registered to move any expansion forward.

The City of Lake Ozark has received a clean bill of financial health for the fiscal year 2020.
Lindsay Graves, CPA, of Graves and Associates, presented the annual audit during the regular board meeting April 27.
She noted that the city had sound accounting and financial practices and meets most recommendations for communities of Lake Ozark’s size. One of the most important objectives which the city meets is having between four and six months of operating budget funds available in the various accounts.
She also commented that 2020 was “a good year” for the city financially despite the challenges communities and residents faced last year.
