After recent conversations with some of our customers, we realize there is still some confusion on the breakout of the utility bill administered by Osceola Water Works. While the bill customers receive includes fees for Water, Sewage, and Garbage, rates and management for the water portion is the sole responsibility of the Osceola Water Works. Any other utility rates and/or service management fees are controlled through the City of Osceola.
To help, we’ve provided a more detailed breakout with additional information on your Osceola utility bill. That can be found through the link below.
Again, if you have questions, we encourage you to reach out to the Osceola Water Works team through our Web site osceolawaterworks.com, or by calling 641-342-1435.
