Press Release

OKLAHOMA CITY –The Boynton Public Works Authority (Authority) received approval for a $1,295,000 loan Tuesday 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 a 100% principal forgiveness loan through the Oklahoma Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF).

The Authority will use the proceeds to upgrade the existing flow through lagoons by installing a new 80 GPM transfer pump station and approximately 1,600 linear feet of 4-inch force main between the primary and secondary lagoons. Additionally, the project includes slope repairs and fencing for the secondary lagoons, effluent discharge flow measurement, and the addition of standby power at the influent pump station. These improvements will prevent unpermitted discharges to Cloud Creek and improve operations.

Joe Freeman, Chief of the OWRB’s Financial Assistance Division, calculated that the Authority’s  customers will save an estimated $1,669,000 compared to traditional financing.
