The Le Mars city council heard a report on flood impacts at their meeting Tuesday. Fire Rescue Chief Dave Schipper said the main concern was keeping the city waste treatment plant in operation during the flood. He said the employees there were isolated at the facility for a while, but kept operations going, and the flood did not overwhelm the city’s waste treatment system.
