Interlocal water agreement with the City of Bethany
Executed a formal interlocal agreement with the City of Bethany on November 6, 2025 for the joint development of a second clean water source, addressing aging infrastructure, increased demand, and the phase-out of the Oklahoma City Airport well field. The partnership advanced on May 5, 2026, when the City Council approved a companion water-well testing agreement with Bethany and the Bethany Public Works Authority, authorizing testing of three existing Bethany-owned wells in the Garber Wellington Aquifer to determine whether they can serve as a secondary potable water source for Yukon residents. City leadership described the effort as bringing Yukon 'as close to a second source of water than we've been in a long time.'
What it means: A signed, active path to diversifying Yukon's water supply beyond a single source for the first time in years
