Des Moines Water Works may be white knight for Xenia
August 21, 2009

The Xenia Rural Water District, which serves many small communities in central Iowa, has been seeking ways to pay down a significant debt burden that has threatened to cause a massive rate hike to its customers. The Des Moines Water Works, which already serves as a bulk water supplier to Xenia, is preparing a list of "several proposals" to Xenia's financial situation, which may include a buyout of the water district. Rural water districts serve a large portion of the state of Iowa, since many communities are too small to sustain their own water-treatment infrastructure.
