The Village of Oswego is offering residents who have been laid off because of the COVID-19 pandemic a $20 credit on their water bills.

To apply for the one-time credit, residents must fill out a short online form and submit proof of unemployment, such as a statement from an employer or a letter from the Illinois Department of Employment Security. You will also need your 10-digit account number, which is on your utility bill.

To qualify, residents must be currently unemployed, furloughed after March 16 or currently receiving unemployment benefits from the state of Illinois.
