3.7M+ Oklahomans are served by the rural & small public water and wastewater systems ORWA supports.
Without those systems, communities couldn’t grow, businesses couldn’t operate and families couldn’t depend on safe water reaching their taps.
Now that’s a scary thought.
No growth happens without dependable water and wastewater infrastructure.
Every operator, employee and board member serving an Oklahoma water system helps create the foundation upon which their community can grow.
Growth doesn’t happen without water.

Here’s to the future of rural Oklahoma! 🍀
Our team brings practical field experience to the challenges facing Oklahoma’s water and wastewater systems.
They answer the phone, travel the miles and work alongside members to find solutions — because keeping rural Oklahoma running takes all of us.
The right rate structure helps protect a system’s future.
ORWA helps member systems evaluate rates, operating expenses and long-term needs so they can make informed decisions and continue delivering.
This assistance is available to ORWA member systems at no additional cost.
The equipment has changed. Our purpose hasn’t.
For more than five decades, our mission has remained clear: help keep the water on across rural Oklahoma.
Emergencies aren’t always tornadoes, floods or wildfires. Sometimes they’re a broken mainline, equipment failure or unexpected issue that leaves a community without an essential resource.
That’s why ORWA is here.
ORWA provided refreshments at the FACT Engineering and Environmental Conference yesterday at MetroTech’s Springlake Conference Center.
