Archer Western Construction will build about 75 % of the project itself , only sub-contracting about 25 % of the job . The treatment plant is currently in phase 2 out of 3 and is expected to be completed on time in November , 2016 .
Looking forward , the treatment plant is expected to pump the re-used water to Lake Thunderbird where Norman gets its drinking water .
Community Support The Norman Water Reclamation Facility serves the city of Norman , a population of about 100,000 people , and the community as a whole has been extremely supportive of the project .
“ This is unique project because the citizens in the city of Norman voted 78 % in favor of this expansion so the whole community is really behind the project ,” Nine says .
On November 5 , 2014 the mayor and city council were on site at the project for a publicized ribbon cutting event to launch the project and show their support . Also , since the University of Oklahoma is in Norman , Nine explains that Archer Western Construction has even hired three college graduates to work as engineers for the project .
Overall the project will be a great resource for the community and an environmental step towards sustainability .
