Manual for the Oklahoma Water Use Calculator

-

The Oklahoma Water Use Calculator is a resource for any individual interested in estimating their water usage and its related costs. It was developed based on the model from the Southwest Florida Water Management District's Water Use Calculator and adapted to include Oklahoma water rates which are available from the Oklahoma Municipal League and individual providers (Oklahoma Municipal League, 2017; City of Norman, 2017; City of Stillwater, 2017).

-

The Oklahoma Water Use Calculator compiles water usage for different household activities and calculates the cost of total water consumption based on individuals self-reported water use and their local water rates. The water calculator also calculates the savings users can get with a 10% reduction of their total water usage. We encourage users to try out the calculator using all the potential uses or just one to see who much water is typically used in different activities and what the related cost is.
