Immediately after Tekamah Creek flooded in 1999, Tekamah firemen and other volunteers helped city crews engage pumps to relieve the city’ s overburdened storm sewer system. Priming a pump at the 8th Street lift station are, from left: city water operator Terry Schroeder, firemen Dan Allison, John Manson, Tom King and Pat Braniff; and businessman Mike Maxwell. A torrential rainfall of 8.25 inches overwhelmed the storm sewers, sending Tekamah Creek from its banks in several location. State funds, authorized three days after the flood by Lt. Gov. Dave Maurstad, may help the city make repairs to sewer lines damaged by the flooding, city officials said.
