Some Muskogee residents remain without water while others are under a boil advisory following a midweek line break that disrupted service across the city.

The outage began Wednesday when routine maintenance caused an unexpected water line break. City crews repaired the issue, and officials said they expect full service will be restored soon.

Why there’s a boil order

The city said water samples confirmed the supply is safe. However, the boil order remains in place out of an abundance of caution until the system is fully stabilized.

Impact on health care

The Jack C. Montgomery VA Medical Center in Muskogee is on full diversion following the outage. That means the hospital is not accepting new patients and is rerouting them to nearby hospitals to maintain safety and care standards.
