KEOKUK MUNICIPAL WATERWORKS
WATER TOWER PAINTING PROJECT
The Keokuk Municipal Waterworks will begin significant maintenance and repainting of the water towers located on South 22nd St. The work will begin April 27, 2026 and is scheduled to continue through October. Although the towers will be drained, one at a time, there will be no disruption in service to the City. The other two towers and water plant will provide continued service during the project. This project is part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and reliable infrastructure. The purpose is to prevent corrosion and preserve structural integrity. Contractors will use containment systems to prevent debris from affecting nearby properties. You may see a large curtain hung over the towers to protect the surrounding area. Proper maintenance and operation of the water plant and distribution system is a high priority, and we maintain our focus on them to ensure safe and continuous water service into the future.

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.
