How’s the summer been treating you? Locally, there has been lots of news, and we’ve been covering it at the Hermiston Herald.
Help coming to Morrow County
Morrow County states it has the resources to bring water and filters to up to 350 homes as it addresses contaminated wells.
A month has passed since Morrow County commissioners declared a local state of emergency. Help has come from different directions, according to Commissioner Jim Doherty, and more assistance is expected.
The declaration was made on June 9 as the board of commissioners recognized high levels of nitrates in rural wells and decided the problem warranted action.
