The Elwood-Gladden levee preparations continued last week, and the levee district board president says it should be ready to go.

Board president Craig Sheppard says volunteers were able to shore up a low spot along the levee with sandbags Friday morning.

Sheppard says soil work continues on a series of sand boils that developed last year. That work is expected to be complete by Saturday.

Sheppard also says they have completed work on a new haul road to for trucks carrying sand to the levee should the need arise.
