Osage County Water District #15 Makes Progress on Emergency Preparedness

Skiatook-The ice storm of 2007 may be fading in memory for some, but for Osage County Rural Water District #15 it is remembered for pointing out the need for better preparedness, according to Jimmy Seago, district general manager. "The District has made great strides since the last ice storm in ensuring that our pump stations, storage capability, infrastructure and office facilities will be as unaffected as possible in future disaster situations," he said. Skiatook lost power at its treatment plant and could not pump water which caused everyone there trouble, he explained. "Plus, we lost power at two of our pump stations." Now the district's four new pump stations are "generator ready." In addition, "We have applied for funding ($30,000) through Hazard Mitigation to purchase one large mobile generator that will run our pump stations." FEMA did supply emergency generators during the last ice storm which helped a great deal, "but we want to have one or two of our own, hopefully from the Hazard Mitigation Grant." Other district improvements include increasing the storage capacity in the north by 250,000 gallons and adding a new 12-inch connection in the south for another source of water coming into the system, he explained.
