Welcome to the Official Website of Rural Water District #17, LeFlore County, Oklahoma

Revitalizing Rural Water

Recently we were honored to have Communities Unlimited (CU) feature our District in a written and video piece that appears on their website.  Derek Shore, Staff Writer for CU and Gaylene Riley, the Oklahoma State Coordinator, among others, spent most of a day with John Butler, our operator and the board.  

Communities Unlimited is a 501(c)3 organization focused on funding, among other needs, environmental services for rural water and wastewater, to disadvantaged populations throughout seven states.  Gaylene Riley was instrumental in the inception of our district, working with USDA at the time.  So, we have a rich history and connection to those who have our goals at heart, sustainable clean water for our future generations.  To quote Gaylene Riley, "everyone needs a LeFlore 17"!  Check out the link below to read the article and watch the great video!

RIG 2 Project Completed

We have completed the project work that was funded by our second Rural Infrastructure Grant, with the exception of clean up around some installation areas.  We will continue to monitor those locations until we have enough dry weather to make those restorations.  With this completion, we have now lifted the voluntary boil notice effective immediately.  

Thank you to all our district members for your support and patience during this phase of updates and new installations.  The sustainability of our water district is at the top of our priorities.
