SB 92 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Water and water rights; creating the Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Investment Program. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 92 creates a state-funded program to provide competitive loans for water and wastewater infrastructure projects in Oklahoma. Eligible entities, such as municipal water systems, can apply for loans to address critical infrastructure needs, with projects ranked based on factors like urgency, conservation efforts, and matching funds. The bill requires loan recipients to repay funds if they fail to complete projects (clawback provision) and mandates public tracking of projects via an interactive map. Funds are allocated specifically: 25% for large cities (over 400,000 people), 25% for mid-sized areas (30,000-400,000), and 50% for smaller communities. The program is funded through a dedicated revolving fund managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
