City Waiting on Sewer Project

BOONE, Iowa---Work is expected to begin next week on the remaining portion of the third phase of the Boone sanitary sewer rehabilitation. City Administrator Luke Nelson says the contractor will be working on 8th Street from Benton to Clinton. Nelson says the work will certainly be an inconvenience for residents, but should not hinder traffic. The next segment of work is expected north of the underpass at Linn and 11th Street. So far, Nelson says the DNR has not approved of the updated plan to fix the bottleneck. The city hopes to have that portion completed by early summer.
