PUBLIC NOTICE
Effective January 1, 2025, the Keokuk Municipal Waterworks will implement a 5% rate increase.
While we do not take this lightly, an increase is needed to offset increasing costs of our operation and to ensure a long-term reliable supply of quality water to our customers.
The Keokuk Municipal Waterworks is committed to providing affordable, quality water and this is a necessary step to that end.
How to Prevent Frozen Pipes in the Winter
To prevent your pipes from freezing this winter, the Keokuk Municipal Waterworks suggests the following:
- Be sure all water pipes exposed to the cold are insulated – outside pipes, pipes in unheated garages and pipes in unheated basements. Just about any kind of blanket-type insulation will help.
- Close off crawl spaces, repair broken and cracked basement windows. Weather strip and caulk basement doors and windows, so that they close tightly.
- Insulate meters. In the case of a frozen meter, a charge will occur and will be billed to your account.

About the Keokuk Waterworks:
The Keokuk Municipal Waterworks was established in 1938 as a board-run municipal utility. The Board of Trustees consists of 5 community members who are appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council to oversee the affairs of the Waterworks.
The Waterworks consists of 3 departments: purification plant, distribution and office. In the plant, Mississippi River water is purified and filtered to create the great-tasting Keokuk water that has won several awards as the best-tasting water in Iowa. The distribution system consists of approximately 100 miles of underground pipe, 3 elevated water towers that store a combined 6 million gallons, and numerous valves and hydrants that are spread throughout the system. The office team coordinates customer accounts, billing and financial/administrative activities.
The Waterworks employs 23 people who take pride in our work and take seriously our responsibility to provide safe, reliable and delicious water to the people, businesses and industries of Keokuk.
