OKLAHOMA CITY – The Roff Public Works Authority (Authority) in Pontotoc County received approval for a $99,999 Rural Economic Action Plan (REAP) grant on Tuesday through the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) to improve the Authority’s wastewater infrastructure.
In response to a Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study (SSES) completed to assess system deficiencies, the Authority will focus efforts on reducing inflow and infiltration (I/I). The proposed project includes the rehabilitation of nine deteriorated manholes, erosion control and roadway repairs around the lagoon treatment area, and the replacement of approximately 2,000 linear feet of aging sewer line. These improvements will enhance the reliability and efficiency of the community's wastewater system, while ensuring the Town of Roff stays in compliance with state regulations.
The estimated cost of the project is $724,999.00 which will be funded by the OWRB REAP Grant of $99,999.00, County ARPA Funds of $125,000.00, and a CDBG Grant of $500,000.00.
Lori Johnson, chief of the OWRB's Financial Assistance Division, calculated that the grant will save the Authority’s customers $185,600 in principal and interest charges by not having to borrow the project funds.
