City of the Day - Adel, IA

City of the Day is BACK!

We found that several people were viewing and enjoying this feature of our blog so we will make every effort to regularly provide you with a new city each day and tell you a little about that city as we provide you with information regarding their water supply.

Adel is a city along the North Raccoon River in Dallas County in the U.S. state of Iowa. The population was 3,435 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Dallas County and the birthplace of 1939 Heisman Trophy winner Nile Kinnick. Iowa Hawkeye fans will be very familiar with the name Kinnick as he is the namesake for the university's football stadium.
