Lawton to Budget Higher Sewer Plant Costs Next Year
Lawton's $18.5 million sewer treatment plant will not be completed for at least a year delaying the start of $700,000 annual operating costs. The project’s resident engineer notes a 90 day startup period, EPA rules raising maintenance costs, and that the city will still need to fund operations in the 1976-77 fiscal year. The plant aims to provide up to seven million gallons daily of effluent to Public Service Company for cooling its generating station, with $96,000 annual revenue from the contract at 7.5 cents per thousand gallons.
