Staying Safe During the Extreme Heat

Tulsa's temperatures have stayed at 100 degrees and more for the past several days. More and more heat calls are being reported in the evening hours as people have spent all day in the heat.


Tulsa's Water Supply Still Strong

While many communities are restricting water use this summer because of drought conditions, it is unlikely that Tulsa's water customers will face any restrictions.

Tulsa is limited by the amount of water it can treat and deliver on a daily basis, but the city owns the rights to water from multiple sources including the Spavinaw Creek watershed, Lake Oologah and, if needed, Lake Hudson on the Neosho River.


July Sales Tax Collections Up 4.7 percent

The City of Tulsa's sales tax revenue for mid-May to mid-June as reported by the Oklahoma Tax Commission is up 4.7 percent compared to the same period last year.

Tulsa received $17,120,560, which compares to $16,349,927 for the same period a year ago.


Fast Forward Plan Draft Open House

INCOG will be introducing the Fast Forward Transit System Plan Draft on Thursday, July 21 at the Central Center, 1028 E. 6th St. (6th and Peoria), from 6 to 8 p.m.

The transit system plan draft identifies and prioritizes key traffic areas in the Tulsa region.


Mayor Dewey Bartlett

Greetings,

For the past couple of weeks, Tulsans have been enduring extreme heat with no relief in sight anytime soon. If you must be outside in 100-plus degree weather, please remember that your regular activities can become more hazardous during times of excessive heat and humidity. So, please be sure to stay hydrated and take indoor breaks to cool down.

Despite the excessive heat, our water supply is good. Our average daily use for July is 165.75 million gallons per day and we can treat and deliver 220 million gallons of water per day. You can learn more about Tulsa water online and through this edition of E-News.

Best regards,
Dewey Bartlett
Mayor of Tulsa
