Informational I&I program series ends

Newton Public Works Director Keith Laube and Public Works Engineering Technician III Joe Grife finished the third and final meeting of the Infiltration and Inflow Program series that took place this month in the DMACC auditorium.

“The information meetings went good and we had a chance to get some information out to the public,” Laube said. “The homeowners and property owners seem to be supportive of the program, wanting to see corrective action taken to eliminate the backups they have in their basement. It’s a problem were trying to solve in the community and so far were looking good.”

The Newton City Council meeting on Monday had a housing theme, with many topics concerning the Housing Incentive Program and the goal of having more people move to town.

“We will continue to keep homeowners and property owners aware of the I&I program as more people move into or build new homes in Newton,” Laube said.
