Community of Danbury, Iowa warns residents not to use water
DANBURY, Iowa (KCAU) — Danbury officials are warning residents that the city's tap water should not be given to infants under six months old until further notice. According to the town's Facebook page, recent tests show the water supply has a nitrate level above the maximum contaminant level. Nitrates can be fatal for infants because their bodies cannot process the compound. Older infants, children, and adults can process the nitrates, and so the water is safe for their consumption.

Nitrate levels in drinking water can change over time without intervention, and Danbury officials are making sure the town's infrastructure is working properly. Additionally, the nitrates cannot be removed by boiling, freezing, or filtering the tap water. Residents can check Danbury's social media for updates. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Disability rights advocates encourage senators to vote against Big, Beautiful, Bill
IOWA (KCAU) — Disability rights advocates joined forces on June 5. They encouraged Iowa senators to vote against the president's so-called 'Big, Beautiful, Bill' due to the ramifications Iowans would face. The group 'Protect Our Care Iowa' said that the bill would cut Medicaid to over 600k Iowans, including 81k people with disabilities. Advocates for the bill say it cuts waste, fraud, and abuse, but the group says it's a way to cut services to the most vulnerable and offer tax cuts to the wealthy. Zach Mecham, medicaid recipient and disability rights advocate, said, 'I know throughout my history of disability advocacy that all of these policies, whether they're aimed at efficiency, or fraud, or abuse, or privatizing healthcare. I know that they all, based on my personal experience, trickle down and harm people like me.' The bill is in the hands of the U.S. Senate. Lawmakers said their goal is for it to be on the President's desk by the Fourth of July. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
