Recently, EVAPCO accepted an award for a wetland project initiated with the Iowa Soil and Water conservation. EVAPCO agreed to allow a bio-retention pond to be on EVAPCO property to slow down the water runoff into the lake. Because of the farming community the phosphorous and nitrates create havoc in the lake because those are essential nutrients for plant (algae) growth that negatively effects the marine and leisure on the nearby lake.

EVAPCO is committed to helping protect the environment.
