How some DSM residents conserve water after CIWW reduction use request
DES MOINES, Iowa — Earlier this week, Central Iowa Water Works asked central Iowans to reduce their water use by 25%. Here are a few ways the community is reducing its usage. On Friday, CIWW requested the community to voluntarily reduce their water usage due to the water supply conditions from nitrate concentration in both the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers. Despite the issue, all finished water meets state and federal regulations for drinking and other uses, CIWW said. Regional Water lifts boil advisory for one city, others remain under restrictions Central Iowa Water Works recommends the following tips to reduce water usage. If you normally run your sprinklers for an hour, water for 45 minutes. If you water for three days, only water one or two. Consider watering only your front lawn. Water in the early morning or late evening. Do not water on Monday Steven Lischer, a Des Moines Resident, said he would be happy to make changes to conserve water if needed. 'If I need to reduce my, my watering or run my watering at, at night, then that's an easy change to make,' Lischer said. Leslie Marrs, a Des Moines Resident, said she plants greenery that is native to Iowa, which needs less water. 'I try not to water my lawn. I do have a garden. And when I put in new plants, I water them. But I am trying to plant natives so that I don't have to water them once they're situated,' Marrs said. Chris Peyton, a Des Moines Resident, said he recommends checking the forecast for rain to let mother nature help water the lawn. 'I know we have some rain in the forecast. So, you know, I try to for, you know, look at what the future looks like in terms of rain and try to plan my watering around it as best I can,' Peyton said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Riders share style and stories, Coolest Bike in Town show
DES MOINES, Iowa — The annual Coolest Bike in Town was held at Captain Roy's on Sunday, and crowds gathered to share and compare their prized bikes with each other. Ichi Bike and the Street Collective put on the event and say it's a great way to bring the community together and to follow along with the journey that bikes go through. 'I love it because this is not a physically competitive event, this is just all about bikes and creativity, and you know, whoever, it's about like weird touches that people put on their bikes, it's about the personalized thing you do when you ride something you love. So we get lots of really cool, creative bikes here that you'd never see anywhere else,' said Bobby Kennedy, Director of Bike Shop Operations at Street Collective. Northern lights, infrastructure impacts possible due to 'severe' geomagnetic storm: What to know The event also serves as inspiration for bike shops and passionate riders. Daniel Koenig is the owner of Ichi Bike and says there's always something that gets the creative juices flowing. 'I'm excited to see some things that maybe I haven't seen before, but it hasn't kind of really revealed itself to me yet, so I'm still waiting to see the bike that's going to make me go whoo, you know, there's always one, or two, or three,' said Koenig. Koenig has been coming to the event since 2011 and say's each year is entirely different. 'The different styles of bikes have come and gone just a little bit like you know at one point there was a huge amount of people who were super into fixed gear bikes, you know this kind of bike and that kind of bike. As time goes on, things wax and wane and kind of develop,' Koenig. Wade Thompson, Owner Captain Roy's, says while he doesn't have a specific bike that caught his eye, he's always looking out for special builds. 'I like the old clunkers, you know, especially when they build up an older frame or something like that and put dirt on it and stuff like that. They're cool bikes and you can ride them on the dirt trails, which is something I enjoy doing,' said Thompson. However, for Kennedy, it's a piece with a transformation history and a special touch that catches his attention this year. 'There is a trike nearby that's all chrome with a handmade wool panel basket, that like, was sourced from the guy's brother's farm,' said Kennedy. 'It started out life as a wholly other bike, and then it became a trike, and then an e-bike, it's really cool. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Forecast: Smoke exits, storms move in
DES MOINES, Iowa — We didn't get as warm as we thought we would Sunday, as smoke aloft knocked a few degrees off our highs. Stronger south winds will kick in on Monday and push temps and dewpoints up, setting us up for Tuesday storms. The weather timeline steps you through the variables in three-hourly increments: Low's Sunday night will be warmer than the past few, helping set us up for a hotter Monday. As we move into the late afternoon, we'll see the smoke aloft exit east as the jet stream pattern changes. The Storm Prediction Center and Colorado State's severe weather algorithm have eastern Iowa pegged for stronger storms Tuesday. Wind and hail would be the main threats. It appears the best window for storm chances Tuesday in central Iowa will come between 3 a.m. and 7 p.m. Predicted rainfall amounts look pretty good! We have isolated shower chances both Thursday and Saturday in the forecast. Rain chances look to be a little higher next Saturday night and Sunday as things stand on June 1st. Highs for the next six days are in the slideshow above, and your WHO 13 7-day forecasts are below: It does appear that we'll enter a wetter pattern by mid-month, though we look to end June a bit above-average in terms of temperature.
