The city has sent out two mailings and gone door to door and we still need a minimum of 17 more survey packets turned in. If that doesn’t happen, sewer bills will likely triple since there will be no grants to fund the new sewer. There are over 30 people who have not turned in surveys. I was told this morning the minimum bill will be around $150 for all on the sewer if we don’t get at least 17 more surveys turned in.

Also, the city has been under wastewater enforcement for years and, in a 2018 meeting, they said Mokane has ignored the warnings about the sewer condition for too long and there will be no more forgiveness. If we don’t do the project, DNR will take over the sewer and decide what happens. If you have any questions about wastewater enforcement, call Erin Meyer-Heidolph at (573) 751-8309.

The surveys have been mailed and people should start receiving them today. There are only 2 pages and there are not a lot of questions. It only took me a couple of minutes to complete. We have to get 80% of the sent surveys returned in order to correct the Census figure of $85,000 as the average household income. If we don’t get back 80%, of surveys, we lose eligibility for most grants and the sewer project will be primarily funded through a loan. That will definitely change the monthly sewer bill charge.

We have been working to resolve issues with getting bills to the community and payments to the City in a timely manner. Tracy and I have spoken with the Postmaster in Fulton and mail with a Mokane or Steedman address will be processed locally instead of going to Columbia or St. Lois first. I’ll be meeting with the Postmaster after the first of the year to look at how Mokane’s mailboxes are set up, what improvements can be made, and having the City maintain the rails and drive up area.

Drinking Water Project Update

DNR's draft Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Intended Use Plan has been published. The City of Mokane’s Drinking Water System Improvements project is listed for a grant amount of $1,704,013 which is 75% of the requested funding amount, the maximum allowable! The anticipated loan amount for the construction is $280,004. The project will include replacement of distribution mains and service lines, installation of residential water meters, and the replacement/addition of valves and hydrants. A booster pump station will be installed to improve water pressures. Piping and equipment at the existing standpipe and well house will be upgraded to improve treatment capability and flow management. Additionally, the project will include an emergency connection to Callaway County PWSD #2 and the Katy Lake line closure.

Thank you,
Chad Booher-Mayor

There will now be an ice cream truck in town on a regular basis. It will be on 3rd Street, in front of the City shop, weekly on Wednesdays. I have also been meeting with the South Callaway Superintendent and talked to the AmVets, and Lions Club about working together to bring more to Mokane.
