Thank you to Coach Brown and Coach Murphy for bringing them out!

The City of Guymon is officially declared into Stage 3 Water Emergency and implementing Emergency Water Conservation Measures, as well as issuing an Emergency Proclamation. The Emergency Proclamation is in accordance with the 2024 Water Conservation Plan and is effective immediately.

A public hearing will be held tomorrow, July 23, 2026, at 3:00 PM at City Hall Council Chambers to educate the public on the current water stage and conservation matters. The public hearing is open for anyone to attend, and will be livestreamed, as well.

We appreciate the community's patience and cooperation on this matter.

Water Update 💧

Yesterday’s demand exceeded the 95% threshold established in the City's 2024 Water Conservation Plan. Under the Plan, Stage III Water Emergency restrictions are implemented when water demand exceeds 95% of the system's production capacity for two or more days within a one-week period. Should demand exceed the 95% threshold again today, or if this threshold is reached for a second day within the current week, Stage III Water Emergency measures will be enacted immediately.

The purpose of these restrictions is to protect the City's ability to provide water for life, health, and public safety. When water demand approaches the system's maximum production capacity, our ability to respond to emergencies is significantly reduced. Maintaining an adequate reserve of water is essential to ensure sufficient water flow and pressure for fire suppression, emergency medical incidents, and other unforeseen emergencies, including major structure fires, severe weather events, or natural disasters.

City staff will continue to closely monitor daily production and demand. If the criteria established in the Water Conservation Plan are met, an Emergency Water Proclamation, public news release, and Stage III restrictions will be issued without delay. Outdoor watering restrictions are in effect. Odd/even watering schedules apply. No watering is allowed on Wednesday. Watering time is after 7:00 PM and before 11:00 AM.

Thank you for your continued diligence in monitoring our water system and for your commitment to protecting one of our community's most critical resources.

Building Guymon's Future Together

The City of Guymon is committed to planning for the future while responsibly meeting the needs of today. As our community continues to grow, so does the demand for reliable infrastructure, enhanced public safety, expanded recreational opportunities, and economic development. To ensure Guymon remains a great place to live, work, and raise a family, the City of Guymon has developed a long-term Capital Improvement Priority Plan that identifies the projects most critical to our community’s success.

This plan reflects a balanced approach to investing in essential services first, including water, streets, wastewater, and public safety-while also enhancing parks, community facilities, and recreational amenities that improve our quality of life. We invite you to review these priority projects and learn how strategic investments today will help build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous Guymon for generations to come.

The City of Guymon recently celebrated the dedication of the Caboose at Centennial Park for the “Tracks Through Time,” Project a micro-museum highlighting the story of Guymon’s beginning, growth, and community history.
While the caboose honors Guymon’s railroad connection, “Tracks Through Time” is highlights the formation of the community. The project helps share how the railroad shaped the early development of the town, brought people and commerce to the area, and became part of Guymon’s identity.

The micro-museum features photographs and maps that help tell the story of Guymon’s past and the people, places, and moments that shaped the community.

The dedication included remarks from City officials and community members, a ribbon cutting with the Guymon Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors, and tours of the completed caboose. The project reflects the work of City staff, the Guymon Public Library, the Parks Department, local historians, and community supporters who helped bring the vision to life. The City of Guymon would like to thank all who participated in making it a special event during the week of America 250.

The caboose is now open daily at Centennial Park from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Residents and visitors are encouraged to stop by and experience this unique piece of Guymon history.
