A ban on watering lawns has been issued in the Des Moines metro area for the first time to avoid a potential water crisis due to high concentrations of nitrates in local rivers.
Last week, the Central Iowa Water Works banned about 600,000 commercial and residential customers from watering lawns as near-record levels of nitrates in the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers threaten to overwhelm the water utility company's capabilities to treat the water.
There is an "imminent risk" of violating nitrates standards set by the EPA, according to a press release by the Central Iowa Water Works. https://abcnews.visitlink.me/DzCWGU
