At SVPWD we work hard every day to deliver clean, safe, reliable, and affordable water services because our customers deserve nothing less. We wanted to remind you of measures we are taking to assist our customers and employees during the COVID-19 crisis.
OUR PLAN
SVPWD activated our continuity plan to strengthen our ability to provide reliable, high-quality service to our customers, continue to deliver water and wastewater services that meets all federal and state drinking water standards and protect our small, but essential staff, and customers during this public health crisis.
WE’LL WORK WITH YOU

WE’VE IMPLEMENTED SOCIAL DISTANCING
For employee and customer safety, SVPWD has also closed all in-person customer payments and we have locked our gates. Customers can drop payment in a local drop box at Casey’s, pay by mail, pay online or by phone or through their bank’s bill payment process.
For your safety and the safety of our employees, we ask that you do not approach our employees when you see them working in the field. We request that you follow social distancing recommendations issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
