Water and Sewer

Director: Eric Lee

Vision Statement: To improve value and economic viability to the greater Tulsa metropolitan area by providing more efficient and sustainable water and sanitary sewer services. 
Mission: To provide reliable, safe, quality water and sanitary services to our customers at a cost consistent with sound management practices while protecting our natural resources. 

The Water and Sewer department manages, operates and maintains the City’s water and wastewater systems. Tulsa’s drinking water comes from two sources: Lakes Spavinaw and Eucha on Spavinaw Creek and Lake Oologah on the Verdigris River. Lakes Spavinaw and Eucha are owned and operated by the City. Lake Oologah is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A third emergency source of water is available from Lake Hudson on Grand River. Water is treated at two treatment plants: Mohawk and A.B. Jewell. Collected wastewater is treated at four treatment plants: Southside, Northside, Haikey Creek and Lower Bird Creek. Tulsa Water and Sewer serve approximately 650,000 people. 

Tulsa's water supply is more than adequate to meet today's needs. Our current facilities can treat up to 220 million gallons per day. Maximum historical use is about 209.03 million gallons per day, on July 16, 2011.
