Okmulgee County Issues Mandatory Pump Shutdown In Effort To Fix Water Crisis
This week’s rolling power outages have led to a water crisis for Okmulgee County residents. The county issued a mandatory shutdown of all pumps today in an effort to search for leaks and potential water production problems. 
Rusty Roberts told News On 6 he has half a million dollars’ worth of livestock on the line and his horses and cattle are his livelihood.   
“No one thinks you're going to be four days without water in 2021,” Roberts said.  
Roberts said the animals need 15 gallons of water a day, but right now they are only getting a third of that by melting snow. He told us it is a slow process because 10 inches of snow only makes one inch of water. Meanwhile, he is using a chainsaw to cut holes in the ice on ponds for his cattle.
