Sewer Fees

The City of Ottumwa charges a Sewer Fee to its residents.   It is structured as a user fee for the use of the City's sewer system and treatment facilities.  The fee is based on the amount of water used, and therefore, run down the drain.   Revenues from the Sewer Fee pays for the operation and maintenance of our community's sewer system and wastewater treatement facility.  Residents are billed for their sewer fee on their water bill from Ottumwa Water and Hydro.
