Dignitaries from across Oklahoma gathered in November for a ceremonial groundbreaking of a new water treatment plant in Enid that will serve as a key element of the Enid Kaw Lake Water Supply Program—the largest capital project in the city’s history. When construction is completed in late 2023 by Garver and Garney Construction, water will be pulled from Kaw Lake through a new pump and intake station. It will then travel nearly 70 miles through 30-in. and 36-in.-dia pipes before it’s treated at the new 10.5-million-gallon-per-day water treatment plant in Enid. The intake pumps and water treatment plant are designed to be expanded in the future to supply 21 million gallons of water per day. This will provide the residents of Enid and northwest Oklahoma with a sustainable surface water supply that will meet their needs for the next half century and more.
Workspace innovation company Vari and contractor Adolfson & Peterson Construction topped out VariSpace Coppell in January, officially marking the construction midpoint. VariSpace Coppell is expected to open in summer 2022.
