Electric
Osceola Municipal Light & Power has been a city-owned utility since 1912, making it the only municipal electric utility in Mississippi County. This public ownership gives citizens direct control and accountability over their utility through elected officials. The department provides reliable electricity at competitive prices and maintains a local inventory of parts and equipment to respond quickly to emergencies.
Sanitation
The Sanitation Department plays a critical role in keeping Osceola clean and healthy. It provides scheduled garbage collection services for residents, as well as separate pickups for yard waste.
