Sioux falls, S.D.- Heavy rain in Southeast South Dakota has led to problems in the Sioux Falls area. The National Weather Service says as much as 4 1/2 inches of rain has been reported. That has led to flooding of streets and roads, and water and sewer backup in some home basements. Public Works says they were forced to discharge untreated wastewater into the Big Sioux River when a lift station failed due to flooding. The city notified state environmental officials and were implementing a river monitoring plan. The city said the untreated wastewater would not affect drinking water, but residents were advised to stay out of the river.
