Homes in Yukon
Yukon grew fast in the 1960s and 1970s. The median home was built in 1979, and about 45% were built between 1960 and 1979.
Homes from that era are now roughly 45 to 65 years old. Supply lines, fittings and drain lines in homes that age are common sources of leaks, and a slab foundation can hide water under the floor until it shows up in the flooring or baseboards.
Who owns which pipe in Yukon
Yukon city code says the City maintains the water line from the main to the meter, and the rest of the line is the owner’s to maintain.
The same code allows only Public Works staff to turn water off or on at the curb valve. Use your home’s main shut-off, and call the City if you can’t reach it.
Where Yukon’s water comes from
Yukon blends water from its own wells with water it buys from Oklahoma City, about one-third Yukon water to two-thirds Oklahoma City water.
The City’s Water Management department runs the water system, meter reading and utility billing. Its office number is (405) 350-8940.
