Minco Municipal Authority receives $842,713 grant for system improvements

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Minco Municipal Authority (Authority) received approval for a $842,713 Sewer Overflow & Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant (OSG) Thursday through the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) to improve the Authority’s wastewater infrastructure.

The Authority owns and operates a wastewater treatment collection system that is experiencing inflow and infiltration (I/I) isues. These proceeds will be used for planning and design of collection system improvements to address the I/I issue. Expected benefits from future project completion include a reduction of unintended flows to the wastewater treatment facility and preventing unpermitted discharges from wet weather.

Joe Freeman, chief of the OWRB’s Financial Assistance Division, calculated that the Authority’s customers will save an estimated $1,371,800 in principal and interest charges by not having to borrow the project funds.
