Frequently Asked Questions

Why does someone have to be present to have the water turned on, but no one has to be present when you shut the water off?

Oskaloosa Municipal Water Department requires someone to be home or at the property when water service is restored to protect your property. Once the technician restores the water, we ask the tenant or homeowner to check to make sure faucets and toilets are not running or that the meter is not leaking to prevent damage. When water is disconnected or terminated these risks do not apply.

What do I do if something is wrong with my water meter?

If your water meter is leaking or does not seem to be working properly, please call Oskaloosa Municipal Water Department at (641) 673-8476 to report the issue. We may need to ask questions to clarify the issue and schedule a service call if needed.
