KANSAS CITY, Missouri: Record flooding along the Missouri River that left death and destruction in three Midwestern states appeared to have crested on Sunday in the Kansas City area without causing major damage and continued to move downstream, local officials said.
Parkville, where high water was creeping to the edge of the scenic commercial district known for its antique shops, art galleries and restaurants, also said on Sunday that the river waters were starting to back away.But the flooding still threatened Kansas City's drinking water. The KC Water utility issued a plea for conservation to its 170,000 customers"to help with ongoing treatment challenges created by current characteristics of the Missouri River.
Although testing had shown excessive levels of turbidity, fine particles in the water that can carry bacteria, viruses and parasites, KC Water said late on Saturday that it"had not found any harmful bacterial organisms" in the water, which it said was safe for cooking and bathing.
