Upcoming Water Treatment Projects in Oklahoma
Oklahoma is set to embark on several ambitious water treatment projects aimed at improving water infrastructure and ensuring a reliable supply of clean, safe drinking water for its residents. These projects are part of a broader initiative to modernize and expand the state's water treatment capabilities.
Hefner Water Treatment Plant Upgrade
One of the most significant projects is the upgrade of the Hefner Water Treatment Plant in Oklahoma City. The plant is undergoing a $44 million improvement project to modernize its ozone disinfection system and increase its treatment capacity from 75 million gallons per day (MGD) to 100 MGD1. This upgrade is crucial to meet the growing demand, especially during the high-demand summer months. The project is scheduled for completion in 20251.
Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) 2024
The recently passed Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) 2024 includes funding for several water projects in Oklahoma. The act authorizes studies at Sardis Lake and Lake Texoma to analyze regional water supply needs and improvements2. It also includes provisions to expedite the completion of projects such as the Tulsa-West-Tulsa Levee project and expanded water infrastructure projects for Midwest City and Woodward.
Bartlesville Water Acquisition
Another notable project is the improved purchase rate for Bartlesville to acquire water from Copan Lake. This will significantly decrease the cost for Bartlesville and improve water access for the growing community2.
