Water provided by Oakwood is softened. Before investing in a home softening unit we would suggest contacting our Public Works Department at 298-0781 to see if such an investment is necessary. The City is responsible for water service from the main located under the street to your curb box and for maintaining the accuracy of the meter itself. Residents must make their meters accessible for readings by city employees and protect meters from freezing or destruction in any matter. Outside meters may be installed for a reasonable fee.
Water usage is billed every three months and meters are read the month before bills are mailed.
Another depository is located inside the east entrance of the City building. Payment may also be made by mail. We also ask residents to determine the location of their water valve boxes so water can be shut off in an emergency. If you have trouble locating this valve, contact the Public Works Department at 298-0781. In the event of water emergencies after business hours, contact the Safety Department dispatcher at 298-2122.
