City water service may be available to homes along South Shore Drive, located beyond Clear Lake State Park, in the foreseeable future.

City Administrator Scott Flory asked for the City Council’s permission Monday night to look into the possibility of extending water service in possible conjunction with improvements to County Road B-35 which are now in the planning stages.

Flory said he would like to identify the feasibility of extending water service to approximately 34 family dwellings in phase one.

County Road B-35 between Clear Lake and Mason City re-opened to traffic over the weekend  The road, along with the Trolley Trail bike path which runs beside it, was closed in April and was delayed by wet weather.
