REO Water, Inc. · Rockport, Indiana

Clean, reliable water for the communities we call home.

REO Water is a member-owned, not-for-profit water corporation. Every dollar you pay goes back into the wells, mains and people that keep safe drinking water flowing to rural Spencer County.

Now underway

We’re rebuilding the system that serves you. A $12.66 million improvement project is upgrading our treatment plant, water tower and 37 miles of mains through April 2026 — and your water remains safe throughout.

Who we are

Water that belongs to its members.

We’re not a distant corporation — we’re your neighbors. As a not-for-profit corporation, REO Water exists only to serve the homes, farms and businesses that own it, with rates set to sustain the system rather than to turn a profit.

Our board meets in public on the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. at the REO Water office, and members are always welcome.

Building for the next generation

A once-in-a-generation upgrade is underway.
