BIXBY, Okla. — Several Bixby homeowners are going through their second day of no water in their neighborhood.

Neighbors near 171st street filled up five gallon buckets of water with a mobile water unit provided by the city of Bixby.

"We have no running water in our house to flush our toilets, to do dishes, to bathe, anything like that," said Shawna Poindexter.

Shawna and her husband Craig Poindexter have a flower farm with 1,500 square feet of cut flowers. The Poindexters say the flowers are wilting because they don't have water.

"I am concerned. I have a lot of time and money invested in this for this to just wilt away," said Shawna Poindexter.

"The point in the season we are with no rain, and it being this dry and then a water crisis happening on top of that, it's just the worst timing ever," said Craig Poindexter.

Several other neighbors are dealing with the same problem.

"We have no water coming out of our faucet. We brush our teeth with bottled water. Our little garden we have to use buckets," said Tedra Korf.

Saturday evening, the city of Bixby said they acquired four portable restroom trailers for residents. The bathrooms have toilets and sinks. They started being delivered around 6pm Saturday night. The toilets will be in the following locations: - 18132 S. 158 E. Ave. (West Side of Roadway) 4 toilets - 18209 S. 158 E. Ave. ( West Side of Roadway) 2 Toilets - 15648 E. 184 St. S. (South Side of Roadway) 4 Toilets -18110 S. 156 E. Ave. (West Side of Roadway) 4 Toilets

Bixby city officials told 2 News they identified a significant, unauthorized water withdrawal from the system in the Bixhoma Lake vicinity. They said that withdrawal impacted water tank levels which limited supply pump capacity.

Friday evening, the city of Bixby released more information on the issue.

Wagoner County Rural Water District 4 says they got water from the city of Bixby this week. RWD 4 business manager Thomas Faulk says they were authorized to buy water from the City of Bixby for a few days earlier this week.

Faulk says water districts have inter-local agreements that help water districts if they are short or it there's a leak. Faulk says the city of Bixby notified RWD 4 that they could no longer supply water so they turned off the valve.

2 News Oklahoma's Naomi Keitt asked the city of Bixby in an email if RWD 4 was responsible for the "unauthorized withdrawal." They responded late Friday afternoon.

"I just want honesty, and I want to know what's going on," said Tedra Korf.

The city of Bixby says crews are pumping air from the lines so the water tank can fill back up. City leaders say low supply pressures are slowing progress, but crews will continue to isolate the transmission line serving the Bixhoma area to provide additional water supply and pressure. They released a timeline of the water supply activity.
