Oklahoma celebrates groundbreaking of Second Atoka Pipeline
Oklahoma City broke ground on the next major segment of the Second Atoka Pipeline, the largest municipal water infrastructure project in Oklahoma history and a crucial investment in long-term water security for millions of residents. The project adds a new 72‑inch steel pipeline next to the existing 60-inch pipeline, expanding water capacity while minimizing land and community impacts.
“This project is about building resilience into Oklahoma City’s water system,” said Richard Taylor, Construction Management Lead at STV. “We’re pioneering techniques that will keep highways open, protect natural resources and connect communities while building a system that will secure water for generations.”
“Strong communities depend on systems that are planned, managed and delivered with intention,” said Andrew Mishler, Civil Engineer with the City of Oklahoma City. “By engaging experienced partners like STV, we’re advancing infrastructure that supports stability and opportunity well into the future.”
