The Stigler Municipal Improvement Authority (SMIA) in Stigler, Oklahoma was awarded a $8,964,556 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program (CFDA 15.514). The funding will support the construction of a new domestic drinking water supply system to serve the rural residents of Stigler, a city with a population of 2,703, as well as provide backup emergency water supplies to approximately 9,000 additional residents in Haskell County. Key project components include raising the dam crest, flattening the downstream slope, adding a toe drain, upgrading the existing spillway, and installing a seepage barrier cutoff system at the Stigler Lake dam. The project will also install a new buried pipeline to convey water from the Lake John Wells feeder lake directly to the Stigler Lake water treatment plant, creating a critical redundancy in the local water system. The project aims to enhance the reliability of Stigler's water supply and mitigate the impacts of drought conditions on the community, which is located within the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. The award date for this federal grant is January 7, 2025, with a targeted ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026.
