Kalona City Council Approves $6.16M Wastewater Project and Sets Budget Hearing
Kalona City Council has scheduled a public hearing for the FY2026-27 budget on April 20, 2026, while moving forward with a $6.16 million wastewater treatment facility project. The proposed property tax levy remains unchanged, but residential owners may benefit from a decrease in the state's residential rollback percentage.

The Kalona City Council will hold a public hearing on the fiscal year 2026-27 budget on April 20, 2026. The proposed property tax levy is $10.36973 per $1,000 of assessed value, unchanged from the previous year.
A bid hearing for a $6.16 million wastewater treatment facility construction project is set for May 12, 2026, at 11 a.m. The city plans to install decorative concrete planters at 5th Street and C Avenue, expected to arrive in four to five weeks.
Additionally, the upper hanging baskets in the square will transition to drought-resistant plants to assess their resilience over summer. The council also discussed streamlining permits for door-to-door solicitors following recent storm damage. This continued investment in infrastructure and beautification reflects the city's commitment to community enhancement.
