City Hall is open to the general public. We continue to monitor the advice of local, state, and federal authorities. We encourage everyone to stay vigilant during this time and follow the guidelines as outlined by the Iowa Department of Public Health including proper hygiene and social distancing. City Administration will actively review the advice of Wapello County Emergency Management and Public Health, the Iowa Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control. For changes in the future availability of services we encourage residents and businesses to reference the city webpage at www.ottumwa.us regularly.
We will continue to offer and improve upon remote services looking ahead. During this transitional time we ask for your continued patience and utilization of safe practices and social awareness.
