The original levee protecting Oakville has not been repaired. A temporary levee was created extended south from the original levee that had not been damaged, crossed the K-Road and encompassed part of Walker Hollow Road.

The Iowa River has raised due to rain and is lapping against the temporary levee. There are houses west of the levee that are currently under water and may stay that way until the original levee is repaired. It has been reported this may not start until some time this fall.
