FILE - In this May 16, 2013, file photo, Des Moines Water Works CEO Bill Stowe stands in the Nitrate Removal Facility at the Water Works treatment plant in Des Moines, Iowa. For years the utility that supplies drinking water to the state's capital city has spent millions of dollars to rid its water supply of pollutants that run off farm fields. Exasperated Des Moines Water Works officials filed a lawsuit to force the agricultural counties to clamp down on the runoff. But Iowa's Republican controlled legislature, strongly influenced by the farm lobby, is working on a bill to dissolve the utility, effectively killing the lawsuit.
