Due to a water main break on Cross Street by the Oconto Middle School, Oconto Waterworks had to use Emergency Well 7 on March 13, 2025, for two hours to maintain the pressure in the distribution system.
Please be aware that the water from this well contains radium at levels above the EPA standard. Radium is a contaminant that affects health after long-term use, and for this reason, we do not believe that drinking the water during this time will be harmful to your health. If you have underlying health problems or are generally concerned about the water during this time, we recommend you drink bottled water.
Please call 920-834-7719 for the Oconto Waterworks with any questions you may have. If you have health related questions, please contact Oconto County Health and Human Services at 920-834-7000.
