The Attorney General has a special division that investigates public corruption, but it is not advertised. You can't just call them with a complaint. You have to send a letter with evidence to the main office. If an investigation is warranted, someone from the AG's office will contact you. They will only investigate Open Meeting Act violations.

A rural water district is a non profit corporation; it 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. There was supposed to be a Rural Water District Oversight Council created by H.B. 1371 in 1991, but the state dropped the ball and we never got it. Water customers can not get a copy of their Membership Certificates. Water customers do not have to sign a User Agreement per their Bylaws. The water treatment schedule is not disclosed to customers. Meter readings are not on the water bills. Their water bills and rate increases are not signed or typed on official letterheads. They do not give receipts for payments. They refuse to accept cards or offer an online payment option. Water line breaks are not announced. Customers are forced to pay for their mistakes. Fire trucks and water well drillers are allowed to get water from a hydrant at the end of Main street and the homeowner has to pay for it with the accusation of a leak or threat of being arrested for water theft. 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. It has become a private, family run business that has been operated by the same family since 1988 when it was the Bradley Water Company. They can do whatever they want to with impunity, and they have. They use water as a weapon to run people out of town. Say the wrong thing to the President or to one of her relatives and she'll shut your water off. Most people pack up and leave rather than endure the abuse because they can't afford to hire a lawyer. If a disgruntled water customer decides to tough it out, they'll be punished for life with a denial of water service. |
