The water under Guymon and Hooker is running out.
Guymon and Hooker, Oklahoma draw their water from the Ogallala Aquifer — a vast underground water source that stretches under eight states. It has been shrinking for decades. Water goes out faster than rain puts it back.
On top of that, a significant portion of the water that is pumped never reaches a tap. It leaks through old, aging pipes underground — invisible losses that drive up costs and accelerate aquifer depletion.
The plan
● Proposed
We want to install small acoustic sensors on water pipes — devices that hear the vibration of water leaking through a crack, the way a doctor hears a heartbeat. The sensors pinpoint where to dig. Fix the leak. Stop the waste.
This is the Green Code Protocol. We have submitted a proposal to Texas County, Oklahoma for a 50-sensor pilot in Guymon and Hooker. The county has not approved it yet. 0 sensors have been installed anywhere.
Who pays for it?
Here is the part that makes this different from most water projects: local taxpayers do not pay for it.
● Proposed funding model
Zero-taxpayer-cost developer compliance fee structure: large data center facilities above 10 MW must adopt water-efficient cooling and contribute a compliance fee — which funds the municipal sensor network.
What does our math say it could do?
Our engineering models project that acoustic leak detection could reduce non-revenue water (water that is pumped but never billed — because it leaked) by 12–28% in a system like Guymon and Hooker's.
On the cost side, our model projects a 10:1 twelve-month TARGET (modeled) on investment — meaning every dollar spent on the system saves ten dollars in water that would otherwise have leaked. This is a modeled projection, not a measured result.
What is true right now?
● Verified — true today
• 0 sensors installed anywhere in the world
• Texas County, OK proposal submitted — April 2026
• Engineering documents published
• Texas County has not yet approved the pilot
• No data center has paid the compliance fee
• The Ogallala Aquifer is genuinely declining — this is independently documented

The next step is for Texas County to say yes. If you live in Guymon or Hooker, the people to talk to are your city council members. The full proposal has been submitted to Texas County, Oklahoma.
