On October 1st, OWASA’s rates increased 2%. Payments from customers are invested in the community’s water and wastewater infrastructure – for upgrades to critical pipes, pumps, equipment, and more – to enable reliable delivery of high quality water and wastewater services. Your bill will be prorated and the additional details may cause a multi-page bill this month.
