RE: Weekly Newsletter
1. DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT: Each year, the Water Utility is required to
provide a drinking water quality report, Consumer Confidence Report, to the entire city.
This report provides information to our customers about the regulation of drinking water,
regulatory standards, the source and treatment of the water supply, health information,
sources of potential contaminants, and monitoring data summarizing water quality data.
A notice stating the availability of the report will be included with May or June utility bills.
A paper copy may be requested by calling 920-232-5325 (please press zero (0) to speak with
someone). Copies are also available at outside of Rooms 106 and 301 at City Hall and at the
Oshkosh Public Library. A copy of the report can also be found online on the Public Works
web page.
The results for 2024 were within the expected ranges from all previously-collected data.
Much of the data in the report has been part of the drinking water quality testing program
for years and the City’s Water Utility has had an excellent record of meeting and exceeding
all regulatory drinking water requirements.
Please note, customers may receive multiple notices about the report. The City is required
to notify customers by each of the customer’s selected methods to receive a bill and/or
make a payment. If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact
Assistant Director of Public Works / Utilities General Manager, Steve Gohde.
2. SPARK YOUR STORY AT THE OSHKOSH PUBLIC LIBRARY: Summer reading is
underway at Oshkosh Public Library and there’s still plenty of time to join our community
of readers. This summer, the library celebrates 125 years on Washington Avenue, and we
want Oshkosh to help us write the next chapter! Join us for a season of stories, community
and celebration with our Summer Reading Challenge for all ages.
The reading program runs through August 16th. Read what you love – every minute
counts! Track your minutes and activities on a paper tracker or download the Reader Zone
app. Read for prizes and entries for awesome raffle baskets. Help us reach our million-
minute community reading goal and we’ll celebrate together with a party on Friday,
August 22nd. Enhance your summer reading experience with engaging programs for all
ages.
Activities are generously supported by the Donald Hansen Fund of the Oshkosh Area
Community Foundation, as well as local businesses and community partners. Visit the
