Crews are still working diligently to make repairs. On Choctaw road at Chisholm Trail a valve needs to be replaced. Locates have been called in, once locates are placed work will resume. Hopefully by 10pm water will be restored. Indian Meridian will take longer, but crews will work through the night. Residents should wake up to water. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding as we work as quickly as possible to resolve this.
