Decisions
BARNETT v. OKAY PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY
2022 OK 24, 117792
Decided 03/08/2022
¶0 The Okay Public Works Authority (OPWA) appeals a jury verdict in an inverse condemnation lawsuit. The jury found that a taking occurred when OPWA installed wastewater sewer lines in a mobile home community. The Court of Civil Appeals reversed the district court’s judgment holding OPWA did not possess the power of eminent domain over the installation of wastewater sewer lines. This Court granted certiorari. We hold that the Legislature granted eminent domain power to OPWA for the transportation, delivery, treatment, and furnishing of water for domestic purposes, which included the power to install wastewater sewer lines in the mobile home community. COURT OF CIVIL APPEALS’ OPINION VACATED; DISTRICT COURT’S JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
