What should Johnston property owners know?
Johnston is one of the metro's younger cities. It incorporated in 1969 with 2,236 residents, according to the city, so much of its housing and commercial space is relatively new. Newer construction often means finished basements and a lot of plumbing, which are the usual sources of water losses.
Camp Dodge, an Iowa National Guard training site since 1908, covers about 4,500 acres in northern Johnston. Saylorville Lake, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood-control reservoir on the Des Moines River that became fully operational in 1977, borders the city.
Beaver Creek runs through the area, so low-lying properties near the creek can see high water in heavy rain, and heavy rain also means sump pump and sewer backup calls.
