Pay Your OKC Water Bill, Manage Utilities Service, or Fix a High Usage Problem
Oklahoma City water, wastewater, trash and recycling accounts are handled through OKC Utilities, not EPA WaterSense or a generic national phone number.

Use it when you need to pay online, make a one-time payment, use the My OKC Utilities app, start or stop service, report a water emergency, compare water use history, or contact customer service with the right details.
