Nowata Power Plant Operations Flood Update

 

The Nowata Water Plant was in operation as of Sunday morning. Nowata County Emergency Manager Laurie Summers said the system is full and safe for use, but Nowata officials ask that you preserve as much water as you can.

 

Flooding had previously caused the water plant to close because water was reported to have reached the electrical panels. Summers said if water touched the electrical panels, the water plant would be closed indefinitely.

 

Emergency Management has requested water resources from the State. The city is preserving water for an emergency and are not giving out water bottles while the water is on. If the plant closes again, an order to boil water will be issued.

 

Because more rain is on the way, city officials are not sure how long the plant will operate at normal capacity.
