The City of Monroe is considering the option of emailing water bills and would like to gauge whether this is something that people would be interested in.  Please let us know if this is something you would be interested in by calling us at city hall (641)259-2319 or email us at monroecityhall@mchsi.com.

Due to a sewer line back up at City Hall it is asked that water bills be paid by sending in or pay online rather than stopping in to City Hall with payments due to the ongoing repair work.  Thanks!

VEHICLES WILL BE TICKETED

City ordinance is now in effect and states: No person shall park, abandon or leave unattended any vehicle on a public street, alley or city owned off-street parking area, from November 1^st of each year to March 31^st  of the following year, during periods of snowfall or within twenty-four (24) hours after a snowfall.  Resident cooperation is the key to helping the city remove the snow in a timely and safe manner.
