City of Ames....Someplace Special!
In the City of Ames, we are defined less by boundaries on a map than by the sense of shared values our residents hold dear. Small town values, guided growth, preservation of historical, cultural, and natural heritage are just a few of the core principles that makes City of Ames a wonderful place to call home.

!!! NOTICE !!!
The City of Ames is in the process of repairing broken or exposed clean-out caps and lines (usually located in the front yard at the City's right-of-way). During the next few weeks, a City employee will be making inspections and repairs to the said lines, which may include clean-outs located on your property. Due to broken or damaged clean-outs the City sewer has been taking massive amounts of rain water as well as other infiltration into the City sewer. This has raised the cost for the City to process or treat the waste, this cost if not corrected will eventually have to be recouped in the form of rate increases (only if nothing is done). As you are aware it is a violation of City ordinance 2016-02 section 1 and 2 (to see copy of the ordinance please click on the "Government" drop down window, "Code Compliance" tab, and then click on "Ordinance") to remove the clean-out cap for the purpose of letting storm water drain into the sanitary sewer (among other things). Please help your City by checking your clean-out caps to make sure they are free of defect or debris. Notify the City so we can make the necessary repairs. Thank you in advance for your caring, understanding, and cooperation on the most important matter.
Sincerely,
City of Ames
