What’s Wrong With the Plant We’ve Got
The state health department orders complete treatment for waste discharged into Cache creek including advanced or tertiary treatment. Lawton’s current facilities cannot adequately treat the sewage it carries or provide advanced treatment, discharging nearly pure water into Cache creek. The plant dates from 1950 51 and 1960 61 with parts built in the 1920s.
