Creek County RWD # 2

Our water supply is purchased from the City of Tulsa, City of Sapulpa, and Creek County Rural Water District #1. The northern part of our District, portions of the southeast, and some areas of Kiefer receive water from the City of Tulsa. Tulsa's water comes from two surface sources: Lake Oologah on the Verdigris River and Lakes Spavinaw and Eucha on Spavinaw Creek.

Lake Oologah water is processed at the A.W. Jewell Treatment Plant, while Spavinaw and Eucha water is treated at the Mohawk Treatment Facility. The rural Sapulpa region receives water purchased from Sapulpa, which sources from Skiatook Lake and Lake Sahoma, both treated at the Sapulpa Treatment Plant.

The southern district, including parts of Kiefer, is served by water purchased from Creek County Rural Water District #1, which draws from Lake Heyburn and processes it at their District #1 Treatment Plant. As required by the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments, the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality has completed source water assessment plans for all our supplier systems.

These reports include delineation of areas surrounding water sources, an inventory of regulated and unregulated contaminants, and a susceptibility determination. The ratings reflect contamination risk, not actual contamination presence. For more information, contact ODEQ at 405-702-8100 or visit http://deq.state.ok.us/window/sourcewater/index.html.

For questions about this report or our water district, please contact Cindy Hubbell at (918) 299-4448 between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water supply. You can attend regular Board of Director's meetings on the second Wednesday of each month at 5:30 PM at the District Office (2425 West 121st Street South, State Highway 117). Meeting agendas are posted 24 hours in advance on the office's main door.

Recently, a historic change occurred at 81st St South and Union Ave in Tulsa. The iconic Checkerboard Water Tower has been replaced with a modern tower just south of the original location. After serving Creek County Rural Water District #2 customers for five decades, the old tower's time has ended. In 2016, the Creek County Board of Directors secured $6.4 million from the USDA for infrastructure improvements, including the new water tower construction.

Construction has been ongoing for eleven months and is nearly complete. The new tower holds 500,000 gallons of water, doubling the old tower's 250,000-gallon capacity. CCRWD2 has evolved significantly over 50 years, growing from 800 initial customers to 5,000 members today, with approximately 280 miles of pipeline infrastructure. Once situated in a rural countryside setting, the area has developed into a thriving region surrounded by Glenpool, Jenks, Sapulpa, Bixby, and South Tulsa.
