OKLAHOMA CITY – The Fort Supply Public Works Authority (Authority) in Woodward County received approval for a $150,000 Rural Economic Action Plan (REAP) grant on Tuesday through the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) to improve the Authority’s wastewater infrastructure. The Authority’s wastewater system includes dilapidated and corroded lines to the lagoons that are experiencing inflow and infiltration. The proposed project is to replace approximately 1,611 linear feet of
deteriorated 8-inch and 10-inch clay sewer lines and existing gate valves. The Authority will also upgrade all associated manholes using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology plus all appurtenances required to complete the project. The estimated cost of the project is $150,000 which will be funded by the OWRB REAP grant in the amount of $150,000.
Lori Johnson, chief of the OWRB’s Financial Assistance Division, calculated that the grant will save the Authority’s customers $243,700 in principal and interest charges by not having to borrow the project funds.
