Sewer Department

What We Do

The Sewer Department runs a complex sewage system that transports on average one million gallons of wastewater daily to the Lake Ozark/Osage Beach Joint Sewer Treatment Plant. The state-of-the-art facility, next to the Osage River, is shared by the City of Osage Beach and Lake Ozark.

The department is dedicated to safely transporting and treating wastewater to maintain public health. Here's a brief overview of what we do:
