Odessa Water and Sewer System
Odessa is fortunate enough to have access to a substantial aquifer. The water is filtered and treated in our freshly upgraded water plant. Part of the water and sewer system life extension project also saw a complete assessment of the existing infrastructure to ensure Odessa continues to have high quality water and sewer service into the future.
Odessa uses a flat rate billing system for water and sewer services. Please contact the Village Office regarding water and sewer matters.
