**Utility Billing Update**
We want to provide an update regarding an issue with the March utility bills. Due to a glitch in the billing process, approximately 30% of the bills were printed inaccurately.
We are actively working with our vendor to ensure this error does not occur again in the future. Corrected bills will be mailed to all affected customers.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding as we resolve this matter.
Thank you for your patience!

🚧🌱 Exciting News, Choctaw! 🌸🌿
If you've noticed some digging around town, it's for a great reason! We are officially breaking ground on the Gateway Gardens Project! 🌻✨
In August 2024, the City of Choctaw was awarded a $7,000 grant from the Oklahoma City Community Foundation’s Parks & Public Space Initiative to enhance and beautify key areas in our community. This initiative supports the development of parks and public spaces—making them more inviting and enjoyable for everyone!
The Gateway Gardens Project will feature perennial, drought-tolerant flowerbeds strategically placed at parks, the cemetery, the golf course, and the Veterans Memorial. 🌾💐 Keep an eye out as these flowerbeds come to life over the summer, bringing lasting beauty to our city!
Let’s make #ChoctawBeautiful together! 💛🌿
