(KAIR)--Equipment is being purchased to assist with the flooding in Doniphan County.
That came Friday as part of the result of a special meeting of the Doniphan County Commission.
According to the minutes for the session, the Commission approved $25,000 in matching funds for a grant to help fund the purchase of stationary electric pumps to assist with the removal of flood waters affecting the eastern portion of the county.
The grant through Kansas Emergency Management will fund 75 percent of the cost. The county will be responsible for the remaining 25 percent.
The county's share of the funding will come from the county general and emergency management funds.
Spring flooding of the Missouri River heavily impacted Doniphan County, including the March evacuation of Elwood.
