Ms. Bishop said that the OPWA commissioned the development of a water system master plan in
November of 1999, and the plan was adopted on February 20, 2001. A contract was awarded for
the design of an elevated water tank, main pump station, & transmission line. The design has
been completed and it is anticipated that construction will begin in January 2004. It is
anticipated that funding will be acquired through the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. The
OWRB finances improvements to municipal water systems through a revolving loan fund
established for that purpose. OWRB financing is low interest and focuses on water and
wastewater products. It is necessary to file application with the Board for financial assistance in
order for the Board to begin the process of approving the application so that the project can be
bid. OPWA Resolution #2003-01 allows the submission of an application to the Oklahoma
Water Resources Board. Mr. Thoendel moved, seconded by Mr. Cataudella, to approve OPWA
