10:05 pm
into the racoon river -- and district 2 and 51 are partially ground zero for the des moines water work lawsuit saying districts just like these are polluting iowa's water -- way too much. much. their whole message is that agricultural drainage is a public nuisance. that's what the law suit alleges.kristine tidgren at the iowa state center for agriculture law and taxation says these specific districts are targeted because there's nothing else around that could be putting nitrate into the water -- except agriculture.run off created by farmland is one of the only discharge methods exempt from clean water act permits regulating what gets put into water supplies -- and charging a fee for it.bill stowe at des moines water works says it's time for that to change. change. des moines waterworks has experienced high nitrate levels for the last 25 years. we built the world's largest de-nitrification facility now about 25 years ago so that has been a long and persistent problem for us.stowe says in
10:06 pm
to take nitrates out for a record 177 days. days.this is a denitrification facilili built about 25 years ago.it's an expensive process -- that cost 1 and a half million dollars in 2015 -- and needs to be replaced now -- because salt-based process corrodes the equipment and it's getting older.stowe says the price tag would be around 80 million dollars -- and with the highest nitrate concentrations ever being found in the des momoes and racoon rivers -- stowe says it's not right to keep pushing that cost on to consumers. consumers.we think the producers upstream who are pushing that pollution down to us should either stop pollututg or pay to remediate it.in any other part of the law -- that would happen outside the courts.but not for the rural -- agricultural drainage districts. districts. yoyocannot sue a drainage districtctor damages because they're not that type of entity.kristine says the iowa supreme court has upheld this
10:07 pm
becuase drainage districts are not corprpations and don't turn a profit -- they're just pieces of land.the people responsible for them -- in this case -- the county board of supervisors -- can be sued and ordered to fix them if they're damaged.she says since they don't produce any revenue -- they haven't been considered financially responsible for anything outside their own upkeep. upkeep.we believe that it's very clear qn the iowa code and or constitution that our responsibilities as supervisors or trustees is for infrastructure of these facilities. we have no ability to regualte in take -- our responsiblitiy is soley on the infrastrucucre and maintainence of those structures.the supervisors say having to apply for permits for agriculture runoff would be like suddenly having to go to the d-m-v to get a licence to ride a bike -- it's just never been done. done.farming is a very sympathetic and admirable trade but it's a busins. there's no other business that

but attempts to help through legislation have been underfunded. >> it's going to take monitorinin and struruure for us to be able to get there. i think some people are just going to roll the dice and hope that the lawsuit goes their way. >> reporter: the county pervisors all say that the nitrates they put in are just a drop in the bucket by the time it travels more than 150 miles past thousands of other farms to get to des moines. but since this case would be precedent setting, they say the amount of nitrates they put in isn't the at this point. runoff hasn't been regulated until now. the trial is slated to start? august, but that's slated to be pushed back. right now the city of cedar rapids is requesting proposals for a new high-rise building in
