Xenia board hopes to sell out
May 14, 2010
The Fort Dodge Messenger reports that the board of the Xenia Rural Water District wants to
sell the system to the Des Moines Water Works for $110.5 million. The district has a large amount of debt and is trying to raise rates to keep up. It's also
trying to renegotiate some of its debt to smooth the way for a sale to DMWW. Almost
90% of the system was constructed using long-term debt financing.
