Thoughts from Jerald Gilbert, City Manager

CITY OF ENID, OKLAHOMA
Thoughts from Jerald Gilbert, City Manager
I am pleased the Kaw Lake Water Pipeline tax
proposition was supported by the voters.
Solving our long-term water issues is of the
utmost importance for the long-term
prosperity of Enid. I assure every member of
our community the City will be working very
hard to bring the pipeline to completion in the
next six to seven years. The City of Enid staff is
currently working on phase II of the Kaw Lake
Project. A summary of phase I to date and an
initial overview of phase II will be presented at
the September 8 City Commission meeting.
This pipeline project should supply water
needs of Enid for the next 50 years and
beyond. The future is bright for the City of
Enid as we celebrate its 123rd birthday on
September 16th!
Happy Birthday Enid!
–Jerald Gilbert
