TextMyGov
Looking to Report an Issue?
In an effort to increase communication and ease of access for our residents, the City of Osawatomie has partnered with TextMyGov – a smart-technology texting tool that nearly all residents will be able to use regardless of their internet access. Using any mobile phone, residents can text in keywords and report anything from a roaming animal to a power outage.
With this software, residents are able to text in keywords (like Clerk, Utilities, or Cemetery) and the AI-technology can offer 24/7 assistance with finding contact information, directing to links on our website, or other information as requested.
Forgot the link for online utility bill payment? Text “PAY BILL” to (913) 557-8777!
Looking to report a pot hole on your block? Text “POT HOLE” to (913) 557-8777 and follow the prompts! Staff monitors reports coming in and can follow-up via text message with updated information, to ask questions, or to confirm a problem has been resolved.
In addition, this technology allows us to push out text message notifications to any subscribed residents. This notification system can be used for non-emergent notices like a change in City Council location or a last-minute change to a City event, and can also be used in times of emergency or unusual circumstance. THREE subscription options are currently available!
To Subscribe to General Alerts, Text "OZGENERAL" to 91896
- To Subscribe to Emergency Alerts, Text "OZALERTS" to 91896
- To Subscribe to Road Construction Alerts, Text "OZROADS" to 91896
Each keyword must be texted individually, and residents must respond "YES" after each to confirm their subscription. Please wait for the confirmation prompt before attempting to subscribe to another category.
Having trouble? Stop by City Hall during regular business hours and we'd be glad to assist!
Quick, easy, efficient.
