Public Utilities - City of Moore

Water Production & Distribution

The City of Moore has 195 miles of water line, 35 active water wells, 5 water towers, one ground storage pump station, and 1,750 fire hydrants.

Water Quality

The City of Moore continually tests the quality of the drinking water that we produce. In addition, we are required to submit an official report to the State on an annual basis.

Water Leaks

Should you see water leaking from a water meter box or spouting up in the street, please call (405) 793-5080, 24 hours a day.

Personnel

Our water maintenance employees must be trained and licensed by the Oklahoma State Department of Health prior to working our water system. Employees must pass exams covering math, chemistry and state regulations; public health and safety are also major topics.

Wastewater Treatment

The plant has a design of 4.5 million gallons of wastewater per day but can handle on a short basis a maximum flow of 11.25 million gallons per day. Treated effluent is pumped west from the plant to a tributary of the South Canadian River.

In recent years, the City of Moore has made a $5 million investment in our wastewater system. $1.2 million was spent on upgrading the wastewater facility. This increased the treatment capacity by 1 million gallons per day at the plant.

The City recently replaced two old sewer lift stations with one new one. The new lift station has allowed the City to open 2 square miles of land to development. Along with this new lift station, new lines replaced older under-sized lines.

These improvements ensure that the City of Moore has wastewater capacity to meet our growth for the foreseeable future.
