Beware of Utility Phone Scams:
We want to make our customers aware of a recent phone spoofing attempt reported by one of OMPA’s member utilities. In this scam, customers received calls that appeared to come from their local utility phone number and were asked to make an immediate payment to avoid disconnection.
Similar attempts could potentially target customers in our community.
Please use caution when receiving unexpected calls requesting immediate payment or personal information. Remember, the City of Perry will not call customers and request payment over the phone.
If you receive a suspicious call, do not provide personal or payment information. When in doubt, contact City Hall directly using our official phone number to verify the status of your account.
Please share this information with family, friends, and neighbors to help keep our community safe.

**OUTAGE UPDATE - 8:50pm**
Power should now be restored to all affected customers. The source of the issue was at the substation itself, which is unusual and took longer than normal to diagnose. The electric crew has implemented a temporary repair to get everyone back online, and will be working with OMPA to implement a permanent repair in the future. Anyone still without power should contact the after hours number at (580) 336-4100. Remember to leave a message with your name, address, and contact information if no one is available to answer.
Thank you again for your patience as the crew worked to identify and repair challenging issue!

Keep Streets & Alleys Safe: Trim Overgrown Vegetation
Summer is in full bloom, and with school starting soon, now is the perfect time to trim back overgrown trees and vegetation.
Property owners are responsible for maintaining trees, shrubs, and other vegetation that extend beyond the property into streets, alleys, and easements adjacent to their property. Overgrown vegetation can create safety hazards by reducing visibility, damaging school buses, emergency vehicles, utility trucks, sanitation vehicles, delivery trucks, and other large vehicles. In some cases, low-hanging branches can even force larger vehicles into oncoming traffic to avoid obstacles.
To help keep Perry safe and accessible, please maintain a minimum clearance of 14 feet above streets and alleys by trimming back any overhanging vegetation.
If vegetation presents an immediate public safety hazard, City crews may trim or remove it. If you notice a hazardous situation, please contact City Hall at 580-336-4241 to request a work order for that location. Thank you for working together with us to help keep Perry's streets and alleys safe for everyone!
Please help spread the word to those who may not be aware of this ordinance.
The City of Perry has officially been awarded a $3,439,820 BUILD Grant for our railroad overpass project!
This funding will cover the feasibility analysis, environmental review, engineering, and final design of the overpass—bringing us one major step closer to construction. With this phase complete, we'll be positioned to pursue future funding for the actual construction of the overpass.
This is an incredible achievement for our community. Perry was the only city in Oklahoma to receive a BUILD Grant this funding cycle and one of only three entities statewide selected for funding.
Projects like this don't happen without strong partnerships. We want to extend a sincere thank you to Senator James Lankford's Office for their support and advocacy throughout this process, as well as BNSF Railway for providing the required local match that helped make this award possible.
This investment represents another major step toward improving safety, reducing traffic delays, strengthening emergency response, and preparing Perry for future growth.
Thank you to our City Council, staff, partners, and everyone who has worked to move this project forward. Together, we're continuing to invest in the future of Perry!

The Street Department has reached its current capacity for storm limb removal requests.
If you have additional limbs to dispose of, they may be taken to the City of Perry Convenience Center located at 1601 E. Boundary.
Please note: Whole trees and tree trunks are not accepted. Limbs larger than 12 inches in diameter are not accepted.
Directions to the Convenience Center: https://maps.app.goo.gl/y4k95SeZrX8xLfxG7
If you have a small brush load, you may request curbside pickup by calling City Hall to be added to the weekly brush pickup list.
Brush pickup requirements:
• Branches must be 4 inches in diameter or smaller
• No longer than 4 feet in length
• Bundled and placed neatly at the curb or alley
These size requirements are necessary because the brush pickup is collected by Davis Sanitation using trash trucks. Material that exceeds these limits cannot be safely or efficiently collected with this equipment.
Please be aware that due to the large number of requests, it may take more than one week for crews to reach everyone on the list.
