needs of the Porum, OK and their local service area. The Porum Public Works Authority (PWA) owns and operates a conventional surface water treatment plant near Lake Eufaula, the water source for the PWA. The plant is 6.6 miles west of the town of Porum and was built in the 1970's. The PWA serves water to 2,094-meters, many of which are lakeside homes, businesses, and rural customers around the town of Porum. The distribution system has approximately 230 miles of pipe with piping that ranges from 2-inch to 8-inch. The system has four existing water storage tanks and three pump stations. The system currently suffers from a 25-35 percent water loss situation. The existing hydraulics are poor due to overgrowth and underrated piping. Low pressures are common due to undersized line and frequent line breaks. Key line replacements need to occur throughout the system as well as storage improvements. A new pump station is proposed to be constructed in the rural area southeast of Porum. These improvements will alleviate health and sanitary issues related to low pressures in the distribution system and addressing leaking water lines will correct potential contamination sources. This investment will benefit the users of the system with a safe and adequate supply of drinking water.

City of Echo $929,000 $769,875 This Rural Development investment will be used to upgrade and improve the efficiency of the wastewater treatment plant for the city of Echo, in northeast Oregon. The city's existing lagoon wastewater treatment system has not seen any major improvements since 1985 and has several deficiencies that contribute to the city's ongoing violation of its permit from the Environmental Protection Agency for discharge into the Umatilla River. As a result, the city is under a Mutual Agreement and Order from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to improve its effluent quality. This project will bring the city back into compliance with its permit requirements, as well as create the capacity to accommodate current and increased wastewater flows. By performing several upgrades to the lift station and pressure main and installing a new fountain system, this project will reduce the total amount of effluent that needs to be disposed of. This project will also construct a pipeline to transport the effluent to the city of Stanfield's collection system, eliminating the need for discharge to the Umatilla River. This also reduces the capital outlay by eliminating the need for additional storage or treatment infrastructure while increasing overall treatment capacity. Overall, this project will resolve outstanding permit violations, and ensure that this rural community of 699 people has a safe, reliable wastewater treatment system to meet their needs for years to come.
