Broken Arrow's water supply and your plumbing

Broken Arrow's main supply is its Verdigris River Water Treatment Plant, completed in 2014, which can produce about 30 million gallons a day and was Oklahoma's first large membrane filtration facility. [1]

Before the plant, Broken Arrow bought water for more than 25 years, piped 27 miles from Pryor; it can still buy up to 4.5 million gallons a day from Tulsa when needed. [2]

Polybutylene-era homes in Broken Arrow: leaks and repiping

The median home in Broken Arrow was built in 1993, and 26% of homes predate 1980. Homes from that era were typically built with copper or CPVC supply, plastic drains, and in some homes gray polybutylene supply pipe, which is where leaks, low pressure and drain problems usually start as they age.
