Mobile-home park to close because it can't afford $250,000 sewer upgrade
March 5, 2010

The Lansing Valley Mobile City, located just west of Lansing, Iowa, is being closed down because its owners do not believe they can afford the $250,000 in improvements to the park's septic system that will be required by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to meet current standards. As stricter guidelines are enforced in the interest of better protection of our water resources, there will undoubtedly be other communities -- including municipalities -- that will be forced to take costly and sometimes drastic action in order to meet higher standards for wastewater discharge quality. Some will need to line existing wastewater lagoons, some will need to install disinfection systems like chlorination systems or ultraviolet disinfection units, and others will simply have to start pumping their wastewater to communities with better treatment systems.
