Utility Delinquent Notices
At the April Council meeting, it was approved to make a change to the delinquent notices for city utility services. A new format for the Oswego utility bill will take effect July 1, 2023. The bills will no longer be postcards but on letter size paper. The following message will display on the utility bill every month and serve as your delinquent notice. “All billings for utility services shall be due and payable in full at the Office of the City Clerk on or before the 10th day of the following month. A 10% penalty will then be added. If full payment has not been received by the City Clerk’s Office within 13 days past the due date (the 23rd day of each month), services will be terminated on the next business day (the 24th day of each month)”
Please note after July 1st: There will NOT be a delinquent notice mailed if the utility bill is not paid by the due date. The full ordinance can be viewed at City Hall or it is available on the city’s website, www.oswegokansas.com.
UB PG2-22 KDHE Water Line Survey
IMPORTANT REQUEST FROM YOUR WATER SUPPLIER
Dear Water Customer,
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced changes to drinking water regulations that require water suppliers to identify all materials used in the construction of the water system. The goal of these changes is to identify and remove all lead pipes in the drinking water system. The water supplier must identify all construction materials used on both the supplier’s AND the customer’s side of the water meter, which means that we will need your help!
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is requiring the water supplier to submit this information before October 16, 2024. If the required information cannot be gathered from the home owner, KDHE may require the water supplier to excavate private lines in order to identify them. That would be very time consuming and expensive.
We need your help in order to complete this requirement. Please complete the survey as soon as possible.
Thank you for your participation!

WELCOME!
Oswego, the Labette County seat, is located at the intersection of Highways 59/160, on a bluff overlooking the Neosho River Valley. Oswego was fortunate that a group of pioneer ladies had a vision, and purchased acreage along the bluff that is now Historical Riverside Park, our hidden gem. Over 80 acres of beautifully landscaped park includes a large public swimming pool, playground equipment, shelter houses, 10,000 s.f. community center, tennis courts, basketball court, RV park, ball fields, and home of the Labette County Fairgrounds. It is the perfect location for family reunions, weddings, company events and picnics, and other organized events.
