The Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust (OCWUT) was established in 1960 to oversee construction of the Atoka Reservoir and Pipeline Project. That project assured Oklahoma City would have plenty of water in years to come.

It was orginally known as the Oklahoma City Municipal Improvement Authority. It was renamed in 1990 to more accurately describe its function as the policy-making body for Water & Wastewater Utilities.

OCWUT strives to ensure that utility customers receive outstanding quality water and wastewater services and that the utilities operate in a professional businesslike manner to the benefit of the citizens of Oklahoma City.

OCWUT has five trustees: the Mayor, a Council member, the City Manager, and two citizens suggested by the Mayor and subject to City Council approval. OCWUT meets each first and third Tuesday of every month at 2 p.m. in City Council Chambers, at 200 N. Walker Ave., 3rd floor.
