Shocking Spike in Tulsa Water Bills

 How Spot On Plumbing Is Helping Customers Navigate This Challenge

BROKEN ARROW, Okla., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Spot On Plumbing is committed to providing homeowners across Broken Arrow, Tulsa, Jenks, and Bixby incredible service. That happens with honesty, integrity, and knowledge. As the warmer months are approaching, many homeowners are noticing an increase in their water bill. Your Dog's Favorite Plumber is here to give you information on why this may be happening.

Customers in Broken Arrow began seeing an increase in October 2024. The typical household will use around 12,000 gallons of water a month. These customers saw their bill increase by $14.00 due to the water rate rising. These adjustments were made by the city of Broken Arrow as part of a multiple year plan to modernize the old utility systems that the city currently has.

In October 2024, Tulsa homeowners noticed an increase of near $5.31 per month on their utility bills. Jenks and Bixby saw a rise in bills as well. The increase in Jenks rates is adjusted per 1,000 gallons starting at $18.65 for the first 1,000 and starting at $7.68 for additional thousands of gallons. Bixby residents are seeing $15.35 for their first 1,000 gallons and $7.26 per 1,000 additional gallons of water.

Spot On Plumbing wants to remind homeowners to also keep in mind that an increase in a water bill could mean that you have a leak. After the freezing temperatures Tulsa Metro has seen over this chilly winter, many pipes were damaged. Even a minor pinhole sized leak can cost you to lose thousands of gallons of water per month. This too will cause the homeowner to notice an increase in their water bills.

Spot On Plumbing has served over 95 customers in the Tulsa Metro with high water bills since the beginning of January 2025. High water bills are a common occurrence every year not only because of price increases, but because of the possibility of pipes that may have burst over the winter months. With over 1,685 reviews, Spot On Plumbing is a trusted Tulsa plumbing expert.

A customer with a high water bill called after the cold weather and a monthly water bill of $148. She was losing over 900 gallons per day. She couldn't find any leaks or wet spots anywhere until she called Spot On Plumbing. The water line had a small hole in it that was 2.5 feet deep in the yard. The pipe had to be replaced and the issue was fixed. This saved her hundreds on her water bill. For more information, please reach out.
