Your Water Usage, Online!
The City is currently in the process of upgrading our infrastructure by replacing our water meters with new Smart meters. These new meters transmit readings daily and provide a more detailed picture of water usage and possible leak issues. In addition to being able to pinpoint when a leak started, these new meters can show how much water is used in household use and irrigation. As we work to install these meters across the City, we will be reaching out to account holders as their meters are installed to give them the log-in information they will need to access their readings online. For more information please contact Utility Billing at 405-390-8198.

SPRING STORM WATER QUALITY TIPS - If you apply too many lawn fertilizers or pesticides, especially before a heavy rain storm, a lot of it may be washed into nearby storm drains and then our waterways and water bodies without treatment.
Fertilizers promote growth and decay of algae that use up oxygen in the water, fish need oxygen to survive. Pesticides in stormwater runoff directly affect the health of aquatic organisms and human health if ingested. Sweep excess fertilizers off of pavement and concrete so they canât wash in to our streams and rivers and use pesticides at the amount recommended by the manufacturer.
