PLEASE READ
Anytime the water has been off for more than a short period of time, there is a potential for bacteria to enter the water system. When this occurs, will will need to issue a boil advisory. We will put the word out when a boil advisory has been issued and once it has been lifted. We will put word out on here, on the Facebook page, posters up at City Hall, Raccoon Valley Bank and the Post Office and will let the Raccoon River Radio Network (KDLS) and the 3 news stations know.
Due to the weather, please be prepared for additional water main breaks. As you have probably seen on the news, many towns/cities are dealing with this issue.

Welcome to Minburn
Welcome to the website that's all about Minburn: A Small Town with a Big Heart, brought to you by the Minburn Community Betterment Group.
The sewer project is well underway. Most of the mains have been installed. There is one or two mains and the connections of the mains left to do once the weather warms up. Work will also begin on the installation of the grinder pumps when the weather warms up so if you haven't gotten your electric box installed or inspected, please do so as soon as possible.
Minburn is now in the loop! The Raccoon River Bike Trail loop that is. The 'North Loop' is now complete. Don't forget - the trail portion in town is open to all. You need a permit to ride/walk the portion out of the City limits.
The Raccoon River Bike Trail new 33-mile 'North Loop' will connect our community, along with Dallas Center, Perry, Dawson and Jamaica with the existing 56 miles of the RRVT, winding from Jefferson through Panora, to Adel, Waukee and Clive.
The railroad depot restoration and trail head project is very close to getting started. We will be rebidding the work soon and should have the bids back in February.
Minburn is on Highway 169, in the heart of Dallas County. You'll find a grain elevator, church, two veterinarians, library, phone company and bank, with a wonderful nature preserve just west on F31. You can get a free cup of coffee at the bank, Heartland Coop, or at the library.
All the best,
Your friends at MCBG
