From the City Manager's Office: There have been some who have voiced concerns over the smell and taste of their tap water. The City of Newcastle has not produced water at the Newcastle water plant since 10/29/24. Newcastle residents are currently receiving OKC water only. On January 17th, NPWA contacted OKC regarding the foul odor and taste. Water supplied to Newcastle by OKC comes from Draper Lake. OKC informed NPWA that Draper Lake was turning over which was causing the odor and bad taste. This event happens approximately twice per year. OKC has started a carbon treatment to help alleviate the odor and bad taste. The water is not harmful, though the odor, discoloration, and taste may be unpleasant. Have a good evening.

SCHEDULED IMMEDIATE WATER OUTAGE - Limited (1 hr) N Council Rd from NW 32 going North to Creek View
