This water use calculator is for general information only and based on local averages and national benchmarks for water use. Data on pricing is for 2016 for all but Norman and Stillwater which use 2017 data. Calculations are estimates that are valuable for comparison purposes but are not meant to reflect exact water usage. Mathematical rounding may cause some calculation inconsistencies.
