Heather Thomas, Marshalltown Public Works Director, called the KFJB line for Ask the Newsmakers yesterday to give an update on the State Street construction.

Thomas had mentioned previously while on KFJB that the water main they took out from State Street had been installed in 1924 and was made of cast iron.  She also mentions that there were multiple water mains running parallel they needed to remove.

The end is near, says Thomas, she mentions that they did learn a few things before they tear up Main/Center Street next.  Thomas predicts that will be starting in 2025.
