Ardurra Team Provides Update to the Community 💧


GUYMON- On October 22, 2025, the Ardurra Engineering Team sat in a public meeting to provide updates regarding the Mesa Water Project to the Guymon community. Project Manager, Jordan Coirier, provided updates on all three phases of the water project, along with her were Camila Lang and Crystal Kowalik from Adurra.


Coirier advised that the project is completed 60% and will be focused on improvements to the water delivery system in Phase III. The completion date for this phase is projected for February of 2026 with bids going out in early spring.
City Manager Mike Shannon provided some questions for Coirier regarding the water storage tanks and what material Ardurra advised and planned to utilize for the tanks. Coirier advised that while both steel and concrete are great options for the tanks, given the amount of water planned on being stored, concrete would provide better reliability and resistance.


Shannon also gave the community some insight regarding funding for the Mesa Water Project. He advised that the $32.2 million dollar project applied for a $17.5 million dollar grant from the Department of Energy by Economic Development Director Sheila Martin and was awarded the money. However, after the current administration took office in January, the Department of Energy has hit a pause on funding. Although this would be of great assistance for the project, Shannon assured the community that the project would continue without it.


The Mesa Water Project would provide the City of Guymon residents an additional 5 million gallons of water a day in order to ensure resilience for the future.

🎃 Halloween Safety Tips for a Fun and Safe Night

Halloween is two weeks away and we have some tips to help make the holiday safe!

See and Be Seen – Use reflective tape on costumes and carry glow sticks or flashlights.

Costume Safety – Choose flame-resistant materials and make sure costumes fit well to prevent trips and falls.

Walk Safely – Use sidewalks and crosswalks and remind kids to look both ways before crossing streets.

Check Treats – Inspect all candy before eating. Throw away anything unwrapped or suspicious.

Drive Extra Carefully – Slow down and watch for trick-or-treaters, especially in neighborhoods.

Decorate with Care – Keep jack-o’-lanterns and candles away from walkways and flammable materials.

Halloween Safe
The Potts Family Foundation (PFF) CEO AJ Griffin presented the Ray & Pat Potts Community Leader Award to the deserving Mayor Kim Peterson, of Guymon, OK, at the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy Fall Forum—an event filled with people dedicated to our state's children.
This award is deeply meaningful, named for our late co-founders, Ray and Pat Potts. Pat, who passed away on August 20, 2025, left an incredible legacy of service. As co-founder of the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits, she always focused on addressing root causes to build the potential of our state, "one child and one organization at a time.”
PFF established this award to recognize a business leader who goes above and beyond for Oklahoma's children. Mayor Peterson is a shining example of that commitment. Thank you for all you do!

🕊️ Honoring Our Littlest Loved Ones

The City of Guymon extends a heartfelt thank you to the Guymon Rotary Club for their generous donation of $2,116.00 to support the purchase of headstone markers for Babyland—the infant gravesite section at Elmhurst Cemetery.

This meaningful contribution was presented to Parks Director Jorge Guzman and Cemetery Sexton Jack Peck and was made possible through proceeds raised during the Rotary’s Bingo Night.

Your generosity ensures that every child laid to rest in Babyland is honored with dignity and remembrance. 💙

🚨 PUBLIC NOTICE: STOP FLUSHING THE UNFLUSHABLE! 🚨
¡AVISO PÚBLICO: DEJE DE TIRAR LO INDEBIDO AL INODORO!

We had to pull two city pumps — one on Friday and another today.
And you won’t believe what we found… Wipes. Rags. And yes… a pair of shorts. 😳

Folks, toilets are not trash cans! When wipes, clothing, and other unflushables go down the drain, they jam our pumps, cause costly repairs, and can even back up into homes and streets.

💧 Please only flush the 3 P’s: Pee, Poop, and (toilet) Paper. Everything else belongs in the trash — not the pipes! Help us keep the city flowing smoothly and save your tax dollars.

A big Thank You to our hardworking crew who had to deal with this mess. Let’s make sure they don’t have to do it again this week!


Tuvimos que sacar dos bombas de la ciudad — una el viernes y otra hoy.
Y no creerán lo que encontramos…

Toallitas, trapos, y sí… ¡unos pantalones cortos! 😳

Amigos, ¡el inodoro no es un bote de basura! Cuando se tiran toallitas, ropa u otros objetos “no desechables,” se atascan las bombas, causan reparaciones costosas, y pueden provocar retrocesos en casas y calles.

💧 Solo se deben tirar los 3 P’s: Pee (orina), Poop (excremento), y Paper (papel higiénico).
Todo lo demás va a la basura — no a las tuberías. Ayúdenos a mantener el sistema funcionando correctamente y a ahorrar dinero público.

Un agradecimiento especial a nuestro equipo por su arduo trabajo — ¡evitemos que tengan que hacerlo otra vez esta semana!
