Due to a water main break on 4/19/2024, the impacted area below will be under a boil order until 4/23/2024 while bacteriological tests are being performed.
PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE CITY OF Malvern Wastewater Lagoon Effluent UV Disinfection PROJECT IS ELIGIBLE FOR A CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION FROM NEPA REVIEW. THIS PROJECT IS BEING FUNDED IN PART OR WHOLE BY SRF FUNDING.
The proposed project was reviewed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for eligibility for a categorical exclusion from NEPA review specified in the 40 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Part 6.204. The project meets all criteria described in the above reference, and it was determined that this project is eligible for a categorical exclusion. Consequently, a preliminary decision has been made that a Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) will not be prepared.
This action is taken on the basis of a careful review of supporting information that is on file at the DNR’s Des Moines, Iowa office. The Categorical Exclusion documentation for this project is available online at https://www.iowasrf.com/environmental-review/ . The DNR will not take any administrative action on the project for at least thirty (30) calendar days from the publication of this Notice. Persons disagreeing with the above environmental decision may submit comments to SRF-PC@dnr.iowa.gov during this period. For further information, please contact Hailey Andersen at hailey.andersen@dnr.iowa.gov or (515) 321-7385.
Beginning today (August 2) at 4:00 p.m., Malvern’s water tower is being taken offline (drained) for annual inspection and cleaning. Pumps on the City’s wells will ensure that pressure is maintained throughout the system but citizens are asked to begin conserving water. Please avoid watering lawns or using excessive amounts of water starting at 4:00 p.m. today. Some households may experience a slight decrease in water pressure. This process should only take a day or two but if any mechanical issues are identified, the tower may be offline for a longer period of time. Additional updates will be posted as more information becomes available. If you have questions regarding this process, please contact City Hall at (712) 624-8282.
Beginning on April 17, 2023, Mike Opal with Midwest Assistance Program (MAP) will be GIS mapping all water and sanitary sewer infrastructure, including curb stops, in Malvern. More information can be found here. This mapping will take several weeks to complete using surveying equipment. Representatives from MAP will be wearing HiVis safety vests or brightly colored shirts and can present identification upon request. Images of MAP employees can be found here.
Mapping services are being provided at no cost to the City and will allow us to more accurately manage the community’s infrastructure.
