About Your Tap Water

We serve more than 1.5 million people across Central Oklahoma.

More than 1.5 million people in 17 different communities and rural water districts throughout Oklahoma are served through our water, wastewater and trash services programs. Raw water is sourced from multiple supply reservoirs that span nearly 250 miles from northwest to southeast Oklahoma. They include the Hefner and Stanley Draper Reservoirs in Oklahoma City, the Canton Reservoir in northwest Oklahoma, and the Atoka and McGee Creek Reservoirs in southeast Oklahoma. Water is treated at our two water treatment plants in Oklahoma City before being distributed to residential and commercial retail, wholesale, and industrial customers. We also manage four wastewater treatment plants and provide trash and recycling services to customers in Oklahoma City.

Management of our operations and capital programs is guided by the Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust, which meets two times per month in Oklahoma City. We also partner with the Lake Atoka Reservation Association and McGee Creek Authority to oversee the administration, management and maintenance of our water supplies and facilities in southeast Oklahoma. Primary funding for the utility comes from ratepayer revenues as sourced through the fees charged for our services. We do not receive any funding from the City's General Fund, which primarily comes from local sales tax revenues. Visit the City's budget page to see a copy of our Utilities budget.
