The county is genuinely mixed: 1,319 of 6,245 classified parcels are on septic and the rest are sewered. Which side of that line a Kalona address falls on is worth establishing before anything else. The county publishes a records portal that we were able to search without creating an account, which makes checking a specific parcel something you can do yourself in a few minutes.
