UPDATE: Once crews began working, it appears the only businesses affected by the water outage will be Mazzio’s and AutoZone. Work should be complete by approximately 10:30 a.m.
The water main that supplies water to the Choctaw Plaza and surrounding areas is being replaced this morning. There will be no water service in these areas until approximately 11:00 a.m.
Please be aware that the Choctaw High School Class of 2026 is graduating tonight! A big congratulations to all of the seniors—job well done!
With that said, for members of the public not attending the ceremony, please expect traffic congestion on 10th Street this evening. To help support a smooth arrival and departure for families, please avoid 10th Street between Henney and Harper if possible.
Graduation starts at 7:00 PM. Parking opens at 4:30 PM for those with a parking pass. Additional parking will be available at Choctaw Road Baptist Church and Choctaw Church of the Nazarene starting at 5:00 PM, so please also be careful in these areas due to increased congestion.
The last shuttle will run at 6:30 PM. After the ceremony, shuttle service will continue until 9:00 PM.
Again—expect heavy traffic on 10th Street, between Harper, and Henney and Choctaw Road at 15th street from 4:00–7:00 PM and again beginning around 8:30 PM.
Thank you for your patience and support in helping make this a smooth and memorable evening for everyone involved.
Did you know that rainwater flowing over streets, parking lots, and lawns can carry trash, oil, chemicals, and pollutants directly into our rivers and lakes? That runoff is called stormwater — and small actions can make a big difference in protecting our water.
✅ Pick up litter
✅ Dispose of chemicals properly
✅ Sweep driveways instead of hosing them down
✅ Clean up pet waste
✅ Plant native vegetation to reduce runoff
Every drain leads somewhere. Help keep our waterways clean and healthy for future generations.
The Planning Commission will hold a discussion and take action on a recommendation to the City Council regarding the 2045 Master Comprehensive Plan on May 7 at 6 PM. The plan is scheduled to be considered by the City Council on May 19.

We will be turning the water off on North Choctaw Road between Tye Brumley and 3rd Street for approximately 4–6 hours to complete a water line repair.
