PSA Pocola Sewer Residents:
Due to rising costs, we are making necessary changes to the Sewer Rates. Please understand this is not a decision we took lightly but is necessary. Pocola Sewer Rates, even with this increase, are still well below the Oklahoma Average Cost of Sewer Services. We did want to ensure we gave customers ample notice of this change to ensure everyone is notified and prepared. So, that being said, below will be the new rate schedule and effective date:
Effective 9/1/2025 - All Flat-Rate Sewer Bills will be increasing by $10/month. All Customers using over 10,000 gallons of water will be increased by 10%.
We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter as well as your understanding and support as these changes take place.
Thank you!
