Press Release

OKLAHOMA CITY –The Town of Muldrow (Town) received approval for $980,000 in funding Tuesday from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) to improve the Town’s water infrastructure. Construction of upgrades and improvements to the water system will be financed by the Oklahoma American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant program.

The Town owns and operates a water treatment plant in need of overflow pipe and filter repair. These proceeds will be used to install flow meters on four (4) water filters, install ten (10) backwash pumps, two (2) overflow pipes, a new telemetry system, an emergency generator with an automatic transfer switch, and 1,344 water meters.

Joe Freeman, chief of the OWRB’s Financial Assistance Division, calculated that the Town’s customers will save an estimated $1,509,100 compared to traditional financing.
