Five metro communities have signed off on a study of the flood-prone Four Mile Creek area. Last August, heavy rain turned the creek into a river. It flooded a mobile home park and a number of other homes. Des Moines, Ankeny, Pleasant Hill and Polk City, have agreed to split the nearly $600 thousand cost to have a consulting firm look at ways to reduce flood risks. The city of Des Moines is already spending $7 million to buy-out flooded homes in the area.
