Ty Loftis
A state of emergency has been declared in the City of Hominy and the public is being asked to conserve water.
On Friday afternoon, Hominy's interim city manager, two members of the city council and Hominy's emergency management director, gave a press conference updating the public on the water shortage the town is facing. This comes after the primary water line that transports water from Hominy Lake to the treatment plant sustained damage, which has halted water supply from the Hominy dam.
Mayor Donnie Reed goes into more detail with what happened and talks about the plan moving forward.
Reed went on to say that even when water begins to flow to the treatment plant, it will take time for citizens to see that water running in their faucets.
In the meantime, crews have obtained mobile water storage units and water will be distributed through 6 p.m. at Highway 99 and Friends Rd. in Hominy. You will need to bring a utility bill to show proof of residency. Several pallets of bottled water have been delivered to Hominy as well.
The Osage Casino and Hotel in Skiatook and Pawhuska are offering free showers to Hominy residents. You are asked to bring your own toiletries.
