City Utilities The City of Osceola operates the WATER, SEWER AND TRASH COMPACTOR facilities. Currently, we bill monthly. The requirement is that these services are paid in advance. Monthly costs are: A base fee for Water $15.00, and $1.25 per 1,000 gallons, Sewer $23.00 and Compactor $8.33. A $150.00 deposit is required on all rental properties. A permit is required to use the compactor which is provided at the City Clerk’s office. This is simply to verify to the compactor operator that you have contacted the City Clerk and that those who are not on our billing list are not allowed to use the compactor without paying for the service.
Pet Owners All dogs and cats are required to be licensed with the City even if they are house pets. The fee is $10.00. The licenses are for one year and expire on April 30th. Proof of current rabies vaccinations is required when purchasing licenses. Compactor

An extra fee is charged for items such as appliances, carpeting, or anything that is not everyday garbage. Used oil is accepted at the compactor, which must be placed in the special container. The compactor operator can show you where to dump it. No Freon. The recycling trailer is located at the compactor for your convenience. There is no extra charge for use of the recycling trailer.
