Little by little our efforts are effecting change in the tone of those in power over the water in OKC. When we started this battle a while back they were not planning to implement severe water rationing and or rate increases to the higher water users until late in 2014. It appears as though they are feeling the heat and going to make those adjustments sooner rather than later. Keep up the fight to educate not only the officials but also the residents of OKC. Many of them have no idea water is in short supply in most of their water supply lakes.
2/3's of the United States is in a severe drought, which includes Canton Lake & OKC. OKC relies solely on surface water rather than wells from an aquifer for household water. Therefore conservation is very critical in OKC as this drought is anticipated to linger another 3 - 5 years.
