Okla. Stat. tit. 82, § 82-1020.9B: Moratorium on municipalities and other political

subdivisions - Prohibition of contract or agreement for use of

groundwater from sensitive sole source groundwater basin.

A. A moratorium is hereby established on any municipality or

other political subdivision of this state prohibiting any such

entity from entering into a contract or other agreement which would

lead to municipal or public water supply use of groundwater from a

sensitive sole source groundwater basin as defined in Section 1 of

this act. Said moratorium shall apply only to municipalities or

political subdivisions which are located outside of any county that

overlays in whole or in part said basin or subbasin.

B. Said moratorium shall be in effect until such time as the

Oklahoma Water Resources Board conducts and completes a hydrological

study and approves a maximum annual yield that will ensure that any

permit for the removal of water from a sensitive sole source

groundwater basin will not reduce the natural flow of water from

springs or streams emanating from said basin or subbasin.
