Utility Authority approves construction contract for sewer interceptor

The Ponca City Utility Authority Trustees on Monday approved a construction contract for the Bois d’Arc sanitary sewer interceptor second phase.

Urban Contractors was awarded the $1,324,044 contract to rehab more sections to restore the structural integrity of the sewer. The project is expected to start in late September or early October and should be completed by the end of the year, according to Environmental Services Director Hong Fu.

This project replaces the 30-inch sewer line from the Bois d’Arc lift station north to South Avenue. This interceptor serves the northwest part of town. The concrete pipe  this line is made of has shown signs of deterioration, which is the reason for this replacement project.
