City of Owasso

PROJECT PURPOSE

The proposed project would replace an existing waterline to increase the reliability of water distribution to thousands of Owasso residents. The current water distribution transmission line was installed in 1984, and over the last two decades, the water line has ruptured on several occasions, causing low water pressure and inadequate fire flows for an extended period of time. This project would include replacing approximately 1,500 linear feet of 16" asbestos cement pipe with 16" C900 PVC pipe.

EVIDENCE

POPULATION DESCRIPTION

This project would benefit approximately 13,000 citizens of Owasso. The area which this water line serves is generally a more rural area of town. This rural population has been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. A reliable water source would greatly benefit this population.

PERFORMANCE MEASURING

The measure of performance for this project would be an increase in the reliability of water distribution in the area. A reduction in the amount of repairs, as well as in increase in water pressure will indicate that the project was successful.
