The Indianola City Council approved an agreement for advertisement to the city’s residents for warranty plans of residential property at their meeting Monday, joining a program that is sponsored and supported by the National League of Cities. City Manager Ryan Waller tells KNIA News the program is a voluntary insurance program for residents in the event anything would happen to the city service lines to an owned property.

“So if anything were to happen to the service lines, the sanitary sewer lines which convey the sewage from your house, this program would most likely cover that.”

Waller said the program is completely voluntary, and residents can sign up for it if they like, and a letter will be sent out to homeowners about the program in the future.
