Dan Bertsch, executive director of the Ankeny Y, said an estimated 2-4 inches of water covered most of the main floor before floodwaters receded on Sunday. A date for reopening has not been determined, but Bertsch said the board and staff are committed to restoring service to members as quickly as possible. Volunteers are needed the rest of this week to finish emptying the building and moving equipment and items into temporary storage. Anyone in the community who would like to help is asked to come to the Ankeny YMCA, 1102 N. Ankeny Blvd., today, Thursday or Friday beginning at 9 a.m. to receive their volunteer assignments.
