Drainage District Bid Accepted

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone and Webster County Supervisors met over the phone Wednesday as a Joint Drainage District Board. They accepted a bid from Reutzel Excavating for $45,305 for work in the drainage district which is the Don Williams Watershed. The bid was about 10% over the engineers estimate, but was still $4,300 less then the next lowest bid. Work is not expected to begin until this fall after crops are out and conditions are dry.
