    DEPARTMENTAL INFORMATION

    The Utilities Department, one of the largest City departments with over 800 employees, ten divisions, and an annual budget of $850 million, provides water, wastewater, and solid waste management services. We serve over 1.4 million residents in central Oklahoma delivering an average of 100 million gallons of water each day through retail and wholesale service connections. Eighteen cities and rural water districts contract with Oklahoma City. The treatment and distributionsystem consists of two water treatmentplants, four wastewater treatmentplants, 4,000 miles of water pipe and3,000 miles of sewer pipe. The Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust (OCWUT) was created to lease, operate, maintain, improve, and finance these systems. It also has a 50-year contract with the federal government to operate, maintain, repair, and replace water and wastewater facilities at Tinker Air Force Base. Oklahoma City relies on water from two sources, the North Canadian River supply, and the Southeastern Oklahoma supply. Canton, Hefner, and Overholser Reservoirs receive water from the North Canadian River. The Stanley Draper Reservoir receives water from the Atoka and McGee Creek Reservoirs located in southeast Oklahoma via a 100-mile, 60-inch pipeline. In 2019, OCWUT began constructing the second 100-mile, 72-inch Atoka Pipeline to provide additional capacity. OCWUT continuously plans for future water supply needs and has secured additional water rights in southeast Oklahoma from the Sardis Reservoir in the Kiamichi River basin. The construction of a 30-mile pipeline connecting the Kiamichi River to the existing water supply system is anticipated to begin within the next five years. The Utilities Department has talented, committed staff, and engaged leadership and is seeking a forward-thinking, effective leader to be its next Utilities Engineering CIP Manager.
