Rural Water Districts were created by Congress under Title 7 U.S.C. (Agriculture). They are a federal subdivision of the USDA Rural Development Office. They are also a state subdivision under 82 O.S. Chapter 18. Rural water districts are therefore government agencies. A rural water district is also a nonprofit under Title 18 for tax exemption; it does not fall under 501 IRS status. The Oklahoma Rural Water Association is contracted to the Rural Development Office to provide insurance, legal consultation, grants, training and assistance to rural water districts at little to no cost. A RWD qualifies for grants allocated by the USDA, OWRA and ASCOG-REAP. It is a locally controlled water utility that is not regulated by the Corporation Commission or the County Commissioner. There is no oversight or regulating authority over any rural water board in Oklahoma. The only agency that can investigate rural water districts for public corruption or color of law violations is the FBI. If ANYONE has had their water disconnected FOR LIFE or if you have had your Constitutional Rights of Due Process violated, please report it to the FBI.

There was a Rural Water District Oversight Council created by H.B. 1371 in 1991 that became a federal agency. It is a 7 member council appointed by the Governor. It is only accessible by going to Oversight.gov.
Grand Jury Petition
A final resort is to circulate a Petition to Convene a County Grand Jury. The requirement is 10% of voters who voted during the last election. The minimum is 500 and the maximum is 5,000, the same required for a Legislative Initiative petition. Grand juries can investigate federal crimes and Title 21 crimes that did not result in an arrest or conviction. Even those with immunity have to answer a grand jury subpoena. An indictment is a formal accusation that is typically issued by a grand jury after reviewing evidence presented by a prosecutor. If an indictment is not issued by a grand jury, a person may be charged with an offense in a criminal complaint. A criminal complaint is a written statement that may be filed by a private individual with knowledge of the alleged crime. Once a criminal complaint is filed, a judge will review it to determine if there is sufficient evidence to proceed with criminal charges. If the judge finds probable cause, an arrest warrant may be issued, and the individual can be arrested and formally charged with the offense. From there, the case will progress through the criminal justice system.
Article 31 was a 2010 campaign to add the right to clean water to the UN's declaration of human rights. The U.S. abstained from the U.N. vote that made water a human right. Therefore, the U.S. federal government does not recognize the human right to water. Denying someone water would not be a federal crime. However, a rural water district can still only deny water service under certain circumstances such as, failure to pay a bill, violate the district's rules regarding water usage (unauthorized connection or cross-connection), or if providing service to a particular property would significantly burden the district's water supply. Reasonable notice and due process is required before service is disconnected.

Updated: 2/09/2025 Memberships are terminated for FOR LIFE under Color of Law in violation of Due Process and the ADA. There is no water treatment schedule; it's a chloramine drip at the wells. There is a concentration of chemical in certain spots due to dead lines not being flushed because there is no flush valve. Members are accused of having unconfirmed leaks that we have to pay for. This is due to faulty meters that need to be changed. They will not allow the town park to have a restroom; they refuse to do the plumbing and argue that they don't want to scrub toilets. |
