A municipality has the authority to regulate or permit the drilling of domestic and industrial water wells within its corporate limits. A municipality may use the water allocated to the platted land within its corporate limits provided the municipality can make water available to the platted land, and a permit therefor is obtained from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. Wells may be located within its corporate limits or outside the corporate limits.
