Press Release

OKLAHOMA CITY –The Foss Reservoir Master Conservancy District (District) received approval for $1,409,648 in funding Tuesday from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) to improve the District’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 along with $190,352 in local funds.

The District owns and operates a water treatment plant (WTP) which is in need of updating. These proceeds will be used to plan and design a new dissolved air flotation system and to replace the existing distribution and plant SCADA systems.

Joe Freeman, chief of the OWRB’s Financial Assistance Division, calculated that the District’s customers will save an estimated $2,182,900 compared to traditional financing.
