Located in the heart of Tama County, Traer is a safe, tight-knit small town of 1,500 people. We are famous for our historic winding staircase, beautifully preserved downtown, and an easy-going pace of life. Families love it here because North Tama County Community School District (K-12) is located right in town along with the Traer Municipal Pool. Kids can walk to a great local school, participate in sports and activities, and grow up in a safe, supportive environment. Here, you will skip the long commutes, know your neighbors, and actually get to enjoy your evenings with family.

At TMU, we manage the daily system operations of the electric, water, gas, sewer, generation and internet services that Traer depends on and TMU provides the local service and support that the community can count on.
