With water production growth anticipated at 1.5% per year, the City supply is adequate for the next 50 years.

Oklahoma City gets raw water from the North Canadian River, supplemented by Canton Reservoir (northwest of Oklahoma City) and Atoka and McGee Creek Reservoirs in southeastern Oklahoma. We continually improve our water systems to position Oklahoma City as a leader in the Southwest.
