Water problems continue around the Delton area as the result of high water on Crooked Lake since 2018. The Barry County Drain Commissioner and local officials came up with a temporary solution that involved pumping the lake water into retention ponds.

Now, others living near the lake say that has caused more problems. One individual and his neighbors say they have noticed an increase in rust in their well water, and say their water tastes bad. John Jarvis who has experienced the rusty, bad tasting water, says the problems began when retention ponds just down the road from his home began to fill.
