Tune into our Alternate Water Source discussion June 8
drinking water
The underground aquifers that supply Oswego's drinking water are rapidly depleting, and estimates suggest that sometime between 2030 and 2050 our water source may no longer be able to meet our daily water demands. Oswego, like our neighboring communities who have partnered with us on this issue, is studying alternate sources, including the Fox River and Lake Michigan, to supply the water we use every day for drinking, washing, and irrigating our lawns.?
Join us at the Committee of the Whole Meeting at 6 p.m. this Tuesday, June 8, for the first part of our decision-making discussion, "Alternate Water Source: Purpose, Needs and Options". *Watch live [ [link removed] ]* at 6 p.m. Tuesday and view the *Preliminary Report* [ [link removed] ] now on our website.
You can also learn more on our *New Water Source* [ [link removed] ]page.?

Lead service line
Oswego announces lead-free water system
The Village of Oswego has completed its lead service line replacement and is pleased to declare the Village?s water supply system lead-free ahead of its initially planned timeline. Lead was a common piping material through much of the 20th century, but exposure to lead can cause neurological illnesses, especially in young children, including slower growth and cognitive issues.
As part of the Village?s water meter replacement program, staff inspected water service lines to identify those made of lead and tag them for replacement. When just five such lead service lines were discovered in Oswego, the Oswego Village Board authorized the replacement of the lines at no cost to residents.?*Learn More [ [link removed] ].*?
