Fill the Swimming Pool!
June 08, 2021
Summers in Oklahoma can be brutally hot! And one of the best ways to find relief from the heat is to get in the swimming pool! But how much water does that pool hold? Filling a swimming pool…..even a small 4 foot by 12 foot pool….can be a scary task when you think of the impact to your water bill.
Below is a chart to help you determine just how much you may need to fill your pool. Please note….these are estimates for round pools only. The actual amount used will vary for rectangular and in-ground pools and depending upon how high you fill your pool.

If you have a larger pool, you might consider filling it over the course of two billing periods. We normally read meters around the 20th of each month, however the date may vary based on weekends and holidays. Please feel free to call our office and we’ll let you know when we plan to read meters….that way you can fill part of it right before we read your meter and finish filling after we read your meter.
So, get that pool filled and enjoy the summer!
