The City of Norman/Norman Utilities Authority receives revenues from water customers through monthly billing based on approved water rates to fund operations and maintenance, capital improvement projects, staffing, and other associated fees and charges solely for the water system. No funds from the City of Norman General Fund or sales tax revenue is allocated to fund costs for the water system. In accordance with the City Charter, utility rates can only be increased through a public vote. As such, water rates have only been increased two times within the past two decades with the latest approval in 2015.
Norman voters will cast ballots in a Water Rate Proposition on June 13, 2023. Norman City Council approved this item to be put toward a vote of the people in March 2023. Normanites on private well systems would not be affected by passage of this proposition.
