Fremont Channel Aquifer Project encounters bidletting issues

(Shenandoah) -- Shenandoah officials are dealing with bidletting snags in the Fremont Channel Aquifer Project. Earlier this week, the Shenandoah City Council unanimously adopted the plans, specifications, form of contract and cost estimates for two wells and the well houses and site improvement work associated with the project. However, the council took no action on bids for the project on advice of Bob Veenstra, engineer with Greenwood Consulting. Veenstra says Sargent Drilling of Geneva, Nebraska's bid of $779,906 is the lowest of three for the wells, while Big Lake Construction's bid of more than $1,243,000 was the lowest of only two for the well houses.

Mills County board hears Resilient Recovery proposal

(Glenwood) -- Mills County officials are the latest to consider funding an area substance abuse treatment program. At its regular meeting earlier this week, the county board of supervisors met with Public Health Director Katelyn Murtfeld and Resilient Recovery Substance Abuse Counselor Richard Mullen to discuss using a portion of the county's opioid settlement funds to bring Mullen's services to the county. The money comes from an agreement that the Iowa Attorney General's Office signed onto in 2022 that provides money from manufacturers to help abate the opioid crisis through prevention and treatment. Based in Villisca, Mullen says he has provided similar wraparound services for the past two years in Montgomery County and expanded to Fremont County in 2026.
