Lawns Turn Tan as We Move Closer to Rationing

KWGS News

We are teetering on water rationing...again.

Tulsa went over the magic number of 204-million gallons yesterday. Mayor Bartlett says the city pumped 204.6 million gallons of water on Wednesday. That means IF we go over 204-million gallons today rationing will become mandatory.

The Stage-2 Rationing starts after two days of 204-million gallons of water. The Mayor says the city has water, but he worries about overtaxing the equipment and a possible pump failure.

The city has had voluntary water restrictions since Tuesday.
