Ottumwa notes one-year anniversary of waterworks flood
August 25, 2008

It was a year ago that the Ottumwa Water Works was hit by a serious flood that knocked out much of the city's water-distribution system. A year later, the city is taking precautions to ensure that such a disaster never happens again. We have a number of solutions that can help prevent disaster during flooding emergencies, including flood-control gates, emergency bypass and flood-protection pumps, and pump stations with engine backup systems, just in case the power goes out -- which it's most likely to do during the same emergencies that lead to flooding.
