Muscatine City Council will review financing for sanitary/storm sewer project

The Muscatine City Council will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, Sept. 1, to gather input on a long‑term financing plan for Phase 6E of the West Hill Sanitary and Storm Sewer Separation Project, according to a news release.

The hearing begins at 5:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, second floor of Muscatine City Hall, where residents may offer public comments on the proposed financing plan.

The city is nearing the final stages of a multi‑year effort to meet requirements of an Environmental Consent Order, which mandates completion of major sewer separation projects by 2028. The proposed $8.3 million State Revolving Fund loan would support Phase 6E, now underway. Previous phases were funded in 2023 (6A, 6B), 2024 (6C), and 2025 (6D).

A resolution to approve the loan agreement is scheduled for a vote later in the meeting.

All council meetings are open to the public. Residents may attend in person at 215 Sycamore St. or watch live on Civic TV (MPW Channel 2) or the City of Muscatine YouTube channel.

Agendas and supporting documents are posted at least 24 hours in advance on the city’s website under agenda and minutes.

Individuals needing accommodations should contact the City Clerk’s Office at 563‑264‑1550 at least 24 hours before the meeting. For more information or to view the full agenda, visit here.
