Rob Sand Tours Des Moines Water Works Facility Amid Iowa’s Ongoing Water Crisis

DES MOINES, IA – Today, candidate for governor Rob Sand was given a tour of the Des Moines Water Works water treatment facility. Along the tour, Rob was given an overview of water quality in Iowa, how the water treatment facility operates, and discussed what can be done to solve the ongoing water crisis across the state with key stakeholders.

“The ongoing water issues across Iowa are a significant problem, and our current leaders have not only done nothing in the last ten years to solve these problems, but have cut monitoring efforts, too,” said candidate for governor Rob Sand. “Traveling the state, I know how important clean water is to Iowans. People are frustrated, and I understand why. I’m continuing to listen to Iowans from all walks — including water quality experts — to figure out how we can tackle this challenge together.”

Besides his tour at Des Moines Water Works, Rob has been conducting policy briefings and meeting with key experts and stakeholders across the state on this issue to figure out how to tackle the problem head-on.
