Water Distribution System
The water distribution system is the essential link between the water supply source and the consumer. It is not just the main that runs down your street, quite the contrary.
Water is life. It is an elaborate conveyance system that allows water to be moved through miles of piping before reaching your tap. Pumps allow water to move through the system; valves allow water pressure and flow direction to be regulated along the way.
The water Distribution Dept. is responsible for the maintenance of water mains, water services, fire hydrants, water valves, and backflow devices located within the City’s service area. In short, the Distribution Dept. ensures that treated water is delivered to your tap.
The Water Utility Supervisor Distribution supervises crews as part of day to day operations. City employee’s work long hours to keep Okemah’s drinking water and storm water safe and clean.
At extremely busy times the department mustprioritize their workload, therefore they may not accomplish everything as quickly as they would like. However, they would like to hear from you. If you see a hazardous pothole, drainage issues, a street sign or stop sign down or needing to be replaced, or if you have a question or concern, please call 918-623-1050. They may not be aware of the problem. Thank you.
