Moravia considers Rural Water connection amid rising costs
Moravia town council discussed contracting with Rathbun Rural Water to secure water supply as pumps and filtration costs rise. They reviewed bills for pump repairs and replacement, electricity, and chemical costs, plus a Housing and Urban Development grant of 30,000 for water main extension. Plans include a 10 inch main to connect to the rural system, with costs estimated from 1,500 to 4,000 for connections and expected water price around 1.25 per 1,000 gallons. A sewer facilities study was also discussed, with potential 75 percent grant, as the sewer system faces overloads from storm runoff and a recent flood.
