Congressional Response to Inquiry about High Water Rates in Owasso, Oklahoma, 1974-09-04

Mr. Evans inquired about his water rates in Owasso, Oklahoma, which have increased since the city tied on to Tulsa water lines. The rates for users outside Owasso are double that of residents, due to the increased cost of piping water and reading meters. There is no water shortage due to the tie-in with Tulsa. Mr. Evans used 6,000 gallons of water last month and his bill was $14.50, while another customer used 9,000 gallons and his bill was $22.00. Mr. Evans requested assistance in aligning Owasso's rates with Tulsa's. Congressman James R. Jones acknowledged receipt of the inquiry and provided information on the situation.
