Fargo planning to get dirt for dikes
Fargo officials are planning where to get dirt for dikes as the city prepares for Red River flooding this spring. Last spring, when the river rose to a record level in the city, officials had to use tons of dirt from areas near two schools to build dikes in a hurry.
FARGO (AP) — Fargo officials are planning where to get dirt for dikes as the city prepares for Red River flooding this spring.
Last spring, when the river rose to a record level in the city, officials had to use tons of dirt from areas near two schools to build dikes in a hurry.
This year, the city has more time to plan and intends to use dirt from city-owned land north and south of Fargo.
Fargo Schools Superintendent Rick Buresh said if the city needs dirt from the schools, they’ll be willing to share again.
