The City of Coffeyville advises residents that there are no current water restrictions in place, but asks that citizens be water wise.

 

Coffeyville's primary water source is the Verdigris River. Elk City Reservoir serves as Coffeyville’s backup water supply if river levels become low, but that supply is not currently in use. If needed, the City has approximately 500 million gallons of water available from Elk City.

 

During periods of hot, dry weather and drought conditions, the City typically takes proactive steps to reduce unnecessary water use. The City is watering Hillcrest Golf Course less, turning off City fountains and asking City departments to use water only when necessary.

 

City officials are asking the community to voluntarily limit outdoor watering when possible, fixing leaks and being mindful of overall water use. This is on a voluntary basis. Again, there are currently no water restrictions in place for Coffeyville.
