Lee County has decided to help one of its unincorporated communities with a proposed sewer project.
The Board of Supervisors has entered into a new 28-E agreement with Regional Utility Service Systems (RUSS).
RUSS is an organization based in Mount Pleasant that helps rural communities secure state and/or federal money for sewer projects.
Supervisor Ernie Schiller says this agreement will allow RUSS to start the preliminary engineering work for a potential sanitary sewer system in the Mooar/Powdertown area north of Keokuk.
