What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Fort Dodge City Council approved a plan confirming the success of its sewer initiative. The council reported that the effort, which began in 2011, has eliminated sewer backups and the need for trailer-mounted pumps. Over the past 15 years, $54.7 million has been spent toward the initial $79 million plan. Flow monitoring indicated that an additional $15.2 million worth of work on specific streets may not be necessary.
