the nitrates back in. how are we going to fix that process? bill: we have taken heat. we have a permit from the state of iowa that lets us remove nitrates and put the slurry back in the raccoon river. the board of trustees that i work for has reached the conclusion that that does not make a lot of sense from an environmental standpoint. we have the legal right to do that but we want to go above and a process will eventually take that slurry into a sanitary sewer system before it is released by the wastewater reclamation facility. we are going well above and beyond the rights we have to make sure we are better stewards of the raccoon river. steve: will that totally remove the nitrates? bill: cycles and elements, whether we're talking about carbon or nitrogen is not something that is removed. it is changed in its form. aqueous nitrogen is what we receive and we have to remove it to be safe, but we do not get rid of the nitrogen. the nitrogen is delivered to the wastewater reclamation and will be fed to micro

the utility currently dumps nitrates and chloride back into the raccoon river after the new pipeline would run under the river and connect to a sewer at the metro wastewater authority. construction will cost $1.25 million. officials say they hope to have the pipeline ready by the end of the year. the nitrate runoff is at the center of a lawsuit filed by the des moines water works against three drainage districts upstream on the raccoon river. this sunday on kcci 8 news close up, we hear from both sides and try to get a handle on how this may eventually be settled. with the warm weather headed our way this weekend, it's easier to start thinking spring and summer can't be far away. and that also means now's the time for teenagers to start looking for that summer job. the des moines parks and recreation department says more than 100,000 people use swimming pools during the season. and it expects around 2,000 people to sign up for swimming lessons between the five aquatic centers. that means hundreds of employees are needed to help out including pool cashiers and dock attendants. but the
