Depending on the results of the survey, the City could be eligible for grants for the required sewer lagoon upgrade.

With the increased use of disinfecting wipes with the Corona virus pandemic, please remember these wipes are NOT flushable, even though they are marketed as “flushable.”  DO NOT FLUSH paper towels, Kleenex, wipes, or rags down the toilet.  Residents should know that these wipes will plug the lift pumps and fill the lagoons even faster with sludge, costing money to remove and reducing the lagoon’s treatment capacity, which will cause your sewer bill to go up faster than it would need to.  Thank you for your cooperation!

Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and following the guidance of federal, state and local health authorities, Moravia City Hall is closed to the public until further notice. Water/sewer payments may be left in our secure drop box or mailed to PO Box 246, Moravia, IA 52571.
