OKLAHOMA CITY – The Pawhuska Public Works Authority (Authority) in Osage County received approval for a $55,000 Emergency Grant Tuesday through the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) to improve the Authority’s Water infrastructure.
The Pawhuska Public Works Authority is moving forward with essential repairs to its water treatment and distribution system following damage caused by heavy rainfall in late April and early May, which exposed and damaged a water line under Clear Creek. The project includes replacing the damaged line, encapsulating it in concrete to prevent future incidents, and completing all necessary appurtenances. The total project cost of $68,750.00 will be funded through a $55,000.00 OWRB Emergency Grant and
$13,750.00 in local funds. These improvements will ensure the reliability and resilience of the city’s water infrastructure.
Lori Johnson, chief of the OWRB's Financial Assistance Division, calculated that the grant will save the Authority’s customers $103,100 in principal and interest charges by not having to borrow the project funds.
