Grants support community water and dams

The law gives the Oklahoma Water Resources Board $200,000 from the state's Progressing Rural Economic Prosperity Fund.

Water connection funding for rural residents

The law gives the Oklahoma Water Resources Board $2 million from the state's Progressing Rural Economic Prosperity Fund. It funds water infrastructure for a rural water, sewer, and solid waste management district in central Oklahoma. The district serves an area with private wells contaminated by an unknown source that needs a public water connection. The law lists July 1, 2025, as its effective date. It also includes an emergency clause stating that it takes effect upon passage and approval.

The county must have more than 150,000 but fewer than 200,000 people, based on the latest federal ten-year census. The community must not be next to an interstate.
