Utility board opens talks on serving Rural Water District 7 in Mounds

David Tillison told trustees the utility had received a formal letter dated Sept. 28 from Rural Water District 7 asking the authority to explore serving that district. Tillison said preliminary, high-level conversations had occurred, but the district's formal request authorizes the utility to negotiate. He noted several constraints: the city has an agreement with TMUA that prevents serving outside its boundaries without TMUA approval, the parties will need to set a resale rate and a formal agreement, and engineers must assess capacity and pressure to determine whether Glenpool can meet the district's needs.
