Water Improvements

The Eufaula Public Works Authority began the process for major water line improvements in 2018.  After conducting a city-wide water analysis and adopting a capital improvement plan for the water system, the EPWA was approved for a $7,185,000 loan from the Oklahoma Water Resource Board in December 2018.  Engineering survey and design work began immediately on the replacement of over 60,000 feet of water lines, 75 isolation valves and 70 fire hydrants.
