After almost 4 years of drought across the state of Iowa, water levels in West Lake saw a reprieve in April and May with some welcomed rainfall. Osceola Water Works eased water restrictions on June 6, 2024. But then in late July, water levels in West Lake began trending downward as the state of Iowa again started experiencing below average rainfall. By September 13, 2024, much of the state was back in some form of drought. On August 14, 2024, Osceola Water Works partnered with Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA) and completed some system improvements that allow SIRWA to

Starting on Monday, October 7, 2024 and continuing thru November 7, 2024, Osceola Water Works will make a temporary change in the disinfectant used in water treatment.

Free chlorine is a stronger disinfectant than chloramine, but it cannot be used year-round because it creates byproducts that are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency. The use of ammonia with chlorine – chloramines – reduces or eliminates these byproducts and helps Osceola Water Works continue to provide clean and safe
