Kalona’s Code of Ordinances is being amended. On Monday, the Kalona City Council held the second reading of an ordinance amendment allowing residents to obtain a second water meter and waived the third and final reading.

Homeowners who water their yards and gardens, or have an irrigation system, and want to avoid paying the sanitary sewer fee should stop into city hall.

According to City Administrator Ryan Schlabaugh, they’ll walk residents through the process, which involves filling out paperwork, purchasing the water meter and having plumbing work done.
