Water‑system tagging clarified after Nowata County RWD #7 raises concern; boards discuss tower repairs
Summary
Representatives of Nowata County RWD #7 told the Oklahoma Union board they believed the district had been "red tagged" by FireX; after putting FireX on speakerphone, the company confirmed OKU was "yellow tagged." The boards discussed options to repair a leaking water tower; no formal action was taken.
Representatives of Nowata County Rural Water District #7 attended the Aug. 13 meeting to raise operational concerns flagged in a FireX inspection report. The RWD representatives told the board they believed Oklahoma Union had been "red tagged," but Superintendent Brenda Taylor placed FireX on speakerphone to clarify the designation.
According to the call, FireX confirmed the district was "yellow tagged," not red tagged. After the phone exchange the OKU board and the water board discussed potential repairs to a leaking water tower that could benefit both parties. No formal action or vote was taken on repairs during the meeting.
The exchange served to correct the public understanding of the inspection status and allowed both boards to discuss cooperative repair options; the board recorded the clarification in the minutes.
