City of Clear Lake Reviews

If you buy a home in Clear Lake Iowa, be prepared for harassment from the City of Clear Lake.

Clear Lake is a city in Cerro Gordo County, Iowa, United States. The population was 7,777 at the 2010 census. The city is named for the large lake on which it is located. It is the home of a number of marinas, state parks and tourism-related businesses. Clear Lake is also a major stop on Interstate 35 with many restaurants, hotels and truck stops.

Here's what happens when you buy a home in Clear Lake. You will move in then suddenly be notified that there is a leak in the water line to your house. Upon furhter inspection, they will find the line is not up to code, since most homes were built in the 30's and 40's.

Then you will be informed that you the homeowner are responsible for installing and paying for a new waterline. This service can be as little as $7,000 and on up depending on how much of your yard and house has to be 'fixed.'

This is quite a scam. Numerous individuals continue to be hit with this charge. Thanks to the realtors, inspectors and public officials who keep this hush hush until you are all settled in your new house.

The Water Department at the City of Clear Lake seems to be financing the repair of ancient waterlines on the backs of homeowners.

Don't think you are immune if you've lived in your house forever. Out of the blue you will receive notice and you will have to pay up. They become quite aggressive, boarderline harassing people to fix the issue.
