From City Hall:
*The city is collecting donations for a permanent headstone to properly identify and mark the Native American grave at Smith Cemetery. Mail donations to City Hall, PO Box 15. (Lance Foster with the Ioway Tribe is helping with the research).
*Residents, it is required by city ordinance that you repair and cap your sewer clean outs on your property and remove your downspouts from the sewer if they are connected. This will help with Inflow and Infiltration and compliance. If the City must do these repairs themselves, a bill will be sent to the resident. To learn how and to ask any questions, please contact City Hall.
We are happy to help get this done.
* A new billing system is being installed. SUBS with MRWA will be used beginning in March and our new meters will then be online. When SUBS is fully functional, you will have a new option to receive your bill through text or email. If you want to receive bills, notices on boil orders, emergencies, low water pressure or no water, you must add your phone number and/or email address to your account at City Hall
