With warmer temperatures around the corner, the City of Pella Parks Department can be found around town removing the remnants of winter. Thom Summitt with the department tells KNIA/KRLS News that they are clearing out the Molengracht Canal, and fountains around town, and soon will power wash both in preparation of Tulip Time and other tourists who will soon start arriving. He says it takes one worker with a power washer, and four additional staffers with brooms approximately two to three hours to get the canal completely clean. The Molengracht garage was also recently cleaned, and all cleaning will usually happen a second time later in the season, as needed.
