OKLAHOMA CITY –The Cashion Public Works Authority (Authority) in Kingfisher County received approval for a $99,999 Rural Economic Action Plan (REAP) grant Tuesday through the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) to improve the Authority’s water infrastructure.

The Cashion Public Works Authority is working to secure future groundwater sources to meet the growing needs of the area. The proposed project involves drilling test wells to identify potential water sources for the Authority. The project will also include all necessary appurtenances required to complete the work. The total estimated cost of the project is $99,999.00, which will be fully funded by the OWRB through a REAP grant of 
$99,999.00.

Lori Johnson, chief of the OWRB's Financial Assistance Division, calculated that the grant will save the Authority’s customers $188,600 in principal and interest charges by not having to borrow the project funds.
