Go to any part of rural Oklahoma and have a long cool drink of clean water from the tap. You’ve just enjoyed the efforts Oklahoma’s rural water providers.

Drinking water that pours from rural Oklahomans’ faucets is not only safe and abundant, it’s the essential stuff that makes things grow – from the farm garden and corner cafe to the residential housing addition and the manufacturing plant.

We hope you’ll spend some time with us here to learn more about your water and where it comes from.

Congratulations!

We would like to again thank all the students and teachers who participated in this year's contest. The winner's have now been chosen.
