I think you were asking today on the Zoom about who owns CAFO's in Iowa. Check Successful Farming magazine sometime. Here is a start regarding hogs, but the Web will unearth many more Iowa-based statistics.
Wow! A real primer on social advocacy, applicable to any worth cause. Thank you!
Getting granular, the link below leads to a FAQ publication from the DMWW that itself contains a link to a map identifying all homes in Des Moines and environs thought to likely have a lead service line. Also a link that enables you to look up your personal address to see if your home is specifically identified (or not). And there is a phone number (515-283-8700) you can call to request tap water testing which, if you are on the list, is free; otherwise, $18.00, about the same as radon testing.

Thank you for your advocacy on this issue! I am happy to share the name of the leader of my neighborhood association.
Thanks for commenting, John. I look forward to your submissions to the Letters column!
I do not think I have anything I wish to share. The writers in the Collaborative have set a high bar!
Cmon!
