OKLAHOMA CITY – The The Arapaho Public Works Authority (Authority) received approval for a $285,000 loan with 100% principal forgiveness from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) to improve the Authority’s wastewater infrastructure. Construction of upgrades and improvements to the wastewater system will be financed by the Oklahoma Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF).
The Authority has been experiencing inflow and infiltration (I/I) in their collection system. The approved funds will support a system-wide sanitary system evaluation survey (SSES) along with the planning, design, and engineering needed for recommended improvements. These upgrades aim to reduce or eliminate system bypasses and minimize unintended flows to the wastewater treatment plant.
Lori Johnson, chief of the OWRB’s Financial Assistance Division, calculated that the Authority’s customers will save an estimated $367,300 compared to traditional financing.
