Iowa Gov. Terry E. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds today (Monday) were joined at the administration’s weekly press conference by leaders from CenturyLink, Windstream, Frontier and Consolidated Communications to announce that the companies will expand broadband internet services across Iowa to nearly 90,000 homes. The broadband internet expansion, a priority of the Branstad-Reynolds administration, was made possible by $53.2 million in grants from the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Connect America Fund (CAF).
The Governor said “In Iowa, technology and access to broadband Internet is the great equalizer for our rural communities. We have put a focus on broadband Internet expansion because if our small businesses are to compete in a global economy, our schools are to have access to an abundance of online learning resources and our farmers are to connect their modern equipment for precision farming, we must connect every acre with broadband infrastructure.”
Reynolds said “To date, nineteen communities across our state have become certified Connected Communities. These cities and towns have demonstrated a commitment to continued economic growth by embracing the opportunity presented by 21st century technology.”
The FCC created the CAF in 2011 to foster growth in broadband access by transitioning funding that was supporting rural landline service to broadband service. The companies are planning the following buildout of broadband Internet in Iowa:
· CenturyLink will be receiving $17,893,887 to build out broadband to 34,827 locations.
· Windstream will be receiving $28,672,554 to build out broadband to 44,930 locations.
· Frontier will be receiving $4,240,587 to build out broadband to 5,438 locations.
· Consolidated Communications will be receiving $2,393,216 to build out broadband to 3,019 locations.
A malfunctioning, telescoping valve on a solid waste holding tank at the Atlantic Waste Water Treatment Plant Sunday night, resulting in about 10,000 gallons of treated, activated sludge solids reaching the East Nishnabotna River. Water Pollution Control Department Superintendent Tim Snyder said the problem was discovered by treatment plant staff when they arrived at around 7-a.m. today (Monday).
Snyder said the malfunction, which happened sometime between 8-and 9-pm Sunday, allowed the holding tank to drop three feet over the course of an hour. He says while a large portion was returned to the start of the plant, the plant drain pumps were overwhelmed by the sudden large flow. The valve is normally only lowered in 4-6 inch increments.
Excess solids then escaped the system by raising a manhole lid and going onto the ground ultimately reaching the river through the storm water drain. Plant cleaning equipment is cleaning up the solids captured on-site. Snyder says steps will be taken to add a secondary restraint on the valve and the manhole ring and lid will be changed to a bolt down configuration.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has been notified, and they will notify those potentially affected downstream.
