Notice from the Charles City Water Treatment Plant

If you received this letter in the mail this week regarding your water meter, it is official and legitimate. The city will be upgrading aging water meters across town, and there is no cost to residents.

Your current meter continues to accurately track your water usage, but the new system is designed to last longer and will allow you to track your daily consumption for better control over your usage.

The city has contracted with HydroCorp, Inc. to replace the meters. Please watch your mailbox for a follow-up letter from HydroCorp, which will include specific instructions on how to schedule your replacement appointment.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Water Department directly at (641) 257-6315.

Safe drinking water and effective wastewater management are essential to the health, safety, and quality of life in each community. These dedicated professionals work hard to ensure these services are available to our city 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Thank you to our water and wastewater teams for your continued service to our community!
