Chairman says Health Department cement apron may be causing basement flooding
Summary
Chairman Ed Duskie reported that a recently placed cement apron around the Jewell County Health Department does not appear to be properly sloped, which he said is causing water to run back toward the building's basement. Commissioners discussed the observation and potential need for corrective work.
Chairman Ed Duskie said he inspected the cement apron installed around the Jewell County Health Department and believes the apron is not sloped correctly, which is causing water to run back toward the basement. He raised the concern during routine reports, asking that the issue be noted for follow‑up.
Commissioners did not take a formal vote on repairs during the meeting; the observation was entered into the record for staff follow‑up. The interlocal contract signed during the session focuses on coordinated environmental planning and program implementation but does not itself authorize immediate building repairs.
