News Beat Continued from page 56 supervisor, pleaded guilty in January 2019 to the same two charges and is scheduled to be sentenced in November.

The elevated chlorine level would produce test samples showing plant discharges met federal limits for levels of fecal coliform and E. coli. Once the samples were taken, chlorine added to the city’s wastewater was reduced to minimal levels that were unlikely to disinfect discharged water enough to meet those limits.

The fraudulent procedures violated the city’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits and the federal Clean Water Act. They also deceived the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, which administers the city’s permits, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The American Water Works Association (AWWA) received two EXCEL awards from Association Media and Publishing (AMP), a national organization representing print and digital publishers in nonprofit organizations. This is the 40th year for the annual AMP EXCEL awards, which recognize excellence and leadership in association media, publishing, marketing, and communications.

The association received a silver award for its “Together, Let’s Get the Lead Out” video (educational) and a bronze award for its “2019 State of the Water Industry Report Executive Summary” brochure (educational brochure).

“One of AWWA’s driving principles is to collect and share water-sector knowledge, and we work continuously to offer quality educational opportunities and materials to our members, consumers, and the total water community,” said David LaFrance, AWWA chief executive officer. “We are honored to receive these awards; more importantly, they reinforce that AWWA’s members are the leaders who ensure excellence in the management of water.”

The awards were presented virtually.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has announced water releases from Lake Okeechobee into the Caloosahatchee River. About 4,000 cubic feet of freshwater will be released from the Moore Haven Lock into the river every second; that’s about 30,000 gallons of water per second.

Because of the way the lake is rising, officials need to stabilize the rate of the rise by reducing the amount of water in the lake. As of mid-October, Lake Okeechobee was measured at about 16.2 feet. In an ideal situation, the lake’s water level should be between 12 to 15 feet.

The releases will continue for the near future, and no end date has been set. Crews hope the releases will only last a month, but rain, heat, and storms can impact the schedule.

Many business owners who depend on water activities or marine life are extremely sensitive to the releases because brown water from the lake dirties the pristine water of the Gulf of Mexico, even muddying some of the water in the Caloosahatchee River.

Using satellite images from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, scientists can tell that algae is in the center of the lake, which is good for southwest Florida’s coastline and canals, but wind and storms could change the direction and location of the algae.

The most recent samplings from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission show no signs of red tide off the coastlines of Charlotte, Lee, and Collier counties.
