Press Release

OKLAHOMA CITY –The City of Anadarko (City) received approval for $600,000 in funding Tuesday from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) to improve the City’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 City owns and operates a public water supply system whose distribution pumps are in need of replacement. These proceeds will be used to purchase three new high speed service pump stations. 

Joe Freeman, chief of the OWRB’s Financial Assistance Division, calculated that the City’s customers will save an estimated $936,700 compared to traditional financing.
