As Oklahoma heads into the teeth of the winter months, local homeowners and renters are being cautioned to take simple steps to help prevent water pipes from freezing.

El Reno added the Banner Road and I-40 area to its city limits Thursday morning, but not until residents in the area had given city leaders a tongue lashing. 

Council voted 5-0 to annex what is described as Phase D of the recently announced expansion plan. The vote came at the conclusion of a 40-minute public hearing that pretty much filled the conference room at the Public Safety Center off SW 27th Street. The area is bounded on the south by Reno, the north by Elm Street and the east by Gregory Road.
