What's the current situation for safe reliable water in Polk County?
Individual water providers in the County have a variety of water sources, water rights, treatment systems, and storage capacities. While our communities generally have enough water today, securing reliable drinking water supplies is important to help sustain continuing economic and regional growth, and developing new supplies is a highly complex and challenging process with today’s economic and environmental constraints.

All people 12 years of age and older are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. If you have not yet had your vaccine, you can get it when you are out of isolation and you are feeling better. If you received any medications or were hospitalized during your COVID-19 illness, check with your doctor on when the best time is for you to receive the vaccine. If you have had any serious reactions to any type of vaccines in the past, check with your doctor about getting the COVID19 vaccine.
