Altoona Water Ban Amid Plant Repairs | Des Moines News

Altoona’s hit pause on lawn watering—yes, even your sprinklers are off—for now, as emergency repairs at the city’s water treatment plant strain the system under high demand. The city’s pulling in extra water from Des Moines, but leaders say drastic measures are needed to keep taps flowing. That means no watering for homes, businesses, or government buildings—and even splash pads are closed. It’s tough, especially with the heat, but officials assure you: your drinking water is safe. This is a temporary fix while crews work to get the plant back online and restore normalcy. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
