Stay
Out
of Flood Waters
Posted 27 July 2010
The DNR warns people
today to avoid flood waters in northeast Iowa, especially in the
Maquoketa River from Manchester to the Mississippi River.
“There’s basically no or only limited wastewater treatment going on in
the whole Maquoketa watershed,” said Mike Wade, a water quality
specialist at the Manchester DNR field office. “We’ve lost the four
main wastewater treatment plants, which means there’s a high potential
for human pathogens in the flood waters.
“Don’t go in the water if you can avoid it,” he said. “If you have to
handle flood debris, wear gloves and wash up afterwards, being careful
not to contaminate food or drinks with flood water.”
The counties affected include Delaware, Jones and Jackson. The
Manchester wastewater treatment plant is still functioning, but only
getting primary treatment. Secondary treatment is not fully working.
The plant at Hopkinton was completely flooded and is not working. Plant
operators don’t have an estimate yet of when it will be back on line.
In Monticello, the electrical panels at the wastewater plant were
completely flooded and are not working.
In Maquoketa, the plant has been partially inundated and is partially
functioning.
Wade said there are numerous bypasses from manholes and from pumping
stations that are overwhelmed with incoming flow.
Also, in Anamosa, on the Wapsipinicon River, the wastewater treatment
plant has limited bypassing from flood waters.
