SIGNIFICANTWATERQUALITYIMPROVEMENTPROJECTUNDERWAY
The Sanitary District, in conjunction with Polk County,ispleasedtoannounceasignificantwaterquality project is now underway on the northeast side of Lake Wapogasset. The District, along withthelandowner,(Frietag),haveworkedwiththe County to complete a project to greatly re-ducerunofffromthelandowner’spropertyuntoWallace Drive. For the past number of years, water coming off the Freitag farm from spring runoff and other rain events would create a water tributary bringing large quantities of phospho-rous into the lake from the Wallace Drive loca-tion.TimRitten,headoftheCounty’sLandandWater Department, is working with the landowner to mitigate the runoff issue. An agreement with the landowner will allow a dam to be placed on thepropertytosignificantlyslowandpurifythewater entering the lake. This should result in a considerable amount of phosphorous being per-manentlyeliminatedfromthelake.Inaddition,the landowner has given a permanent easement to the Sanitary District to maintain the dam going forward.
