More than fifty people volunteered to help clean up the Dierks city park on Saturday. Several local businesses contributed food, water, and other items for the volunteers, as repairs are made from last week’s flooding event. The boil order at Dierks was lifted on Friday, however bottled water is still available at the Dierks municipal building.
