Norman Water Treatment Up for Federal Grant
Cleaner water may be coming to Oklahoma and Norman.
About 32 million dollars of President Obama's stimulus bill may be alloted to Oklahoma's Clean Water and Drinking Water projects.
From there The Oklahoma Water Resource Board and The Oklahoma Department of Quality will decide which Oklahoma cities will receive money. Norman is currently number 15 on the list.
"If we get the grant it could fund some projects that otherwise would be paid by rate payers paying the bill," Norman Water Treatment Utilities Superintendent, Chris Mattingly said.
Some of the projects the Norman Water Treatment is looking to accomplish with the money are expanding the water treatment plant, replacing water filters, and getting a new generator.

The players started off the process in nothing but their underwear, standing on a scale in front of a slew of scouts, reporters, and cameras. After the auction like measuring process was over the athletes started running, jumping, catching, showing off their skills in the Everest Training Center.
The job the 17 Sooners are shooting for is a spot on an NFL team. Representatives of 27 National Football League teams were on campus for the 2009 OU Pro Day.
