Atoka Pipeline Construction
At a glance
Based on auto-generated captions; names and numbers may be misheard.
- What: construction of a second Atoka pipeline and pump stations to carry McGee Creek and Atoka water to Lake Draper.
- Where it stands: about 58.3 miles of pipe in the ground; three pump stations under construction (pump station O about 55 percent complete).
- Next: segments finish between March 2027 and May 2028; the Lake Draper outfall structure is to be bid in February 2027.
Details
- A September 14 grass fire (about 600 acres) stopped short of the pump station site.
- Schedule as reported: Colgate to Stonewall March 2027; Canadian River to Conway 97 percent installed, July 2027; Conway pump station March 2028; McComb segments April and May 2028.
- Capacity should rise from about 80 to about 100 million gallons a day, letting the city move its full permitted supply; the old pipeline will be inspected and kept in reserve.
- Substations for the pump stations are being designed with two electric utilities.
