Water
The Department of Public Works manages and operates a complex storage and water distribution system for municipal use and consumption. Find our current system and the proposed improvements documented in our Water Facilities Master Plan(PDF) HERE. This plan was last updated in 2011. Since the formation of this plan, the Department of Public Works has worked to complete many of the major components of this facility master plan. Public Works is currently working on updating our Master Plan to ensure that we continue to provide our customers with a safe and reliable municipal water source. The revised master plan will be available for viewing and public input in Fall 2022.
The Department of Natural Resources also requires the City of Ozark to submit a CCR Annual Report(PDF). This report describes the status of water quality in Ozark.
Water Connections
The process for obtaining connection to the City of Ozark’s water system and the fee schedule for connection is outlined in the document titled Procedures for Connection to City of Ozark Utilities (Water & Sewer).
If it becomes necessary to cut into a city street to do a connection or repair, a Public Works Right-of-Way Permit with a deposit will be required. Public Works’ approval is required before the permit is issued.
Safe Drinking Water Act
In compliance with the EPA Lead and Copper Rule, the City of Ozark has replaced all known lead water services from 1991 through 1993. In addition, if any service is found to be non-compliant during routine work, it is also replaced. Although none have been located in the past two (2) years, all replacement parts have been non-lead since 2014.
Compliance result documentation may be viewed at the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Drinking Water Watch Website.
