Sioux Rapids residents asked to limit all water use

UPDATE (3:30 p.m.)

SIOUX RAPIDS, Iowa (KTIV) - Officials with Buena Vista County Emergency Management have provided some updates in Sioux Rapids. There are porta potties being placed throughout the community.

Residents are asked to use them as much as possible instead of flushing toilets. With the sewer system overrun this will help to recover the system faster once the waters recede.

There will also be a town meeting for residents who have damages caused by the flooding to obtain information and ask questions. On Tuesday, June 25, a meeting will be held at First Lutheran Church at 716 First St, starting at 7 p.m.

Additionally, for those who helped with the flood fight operation on June 22, Buena Vista County Emergency Management would like to collect information.

Volunteer hours count in their damage assessment to help the city and its residents. Emergency managers say it is very important that they capture the hours that everyone has spent helping the city.
