Oklahoma Supreme Court Rules City Must Release Draper Lake Water
The Oklahoma Supreme Court unanimously upheld a lower court ruling ordering Oklahoma City to release 960 acre feet of water from Draper Lake. The water must flow to East Elm Creek towards Norman Midwenshi and Del City, preserving supplies for neighboring towns while not endangering state surface streams and historic Dust Bowl era waterways. A local water district had sued, arguing the city illegally impounded the water and blocked natural flow.
