Both the Des Moines Water Works and the West Des Moines Water Works have closed their offices to the public, so payments will need to be made online or by phone or mail.
Des Moines Water Works also has suspended home service calls except for emergencies. The utility serving nearly a half-million people also won’t cut off anyone’s service for deliquent bills for now.
The changes are in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
