Next time it rains and rains Ada will be ready

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, April 13, 2016

By Monty Siekerman
Last spring's rains caused considerable damage and inconvenience to property and people on the southwest side of Ada, especially to the campus where damage was reported to be $1 million.

A project is now in the design stage to fix a perennial problem whenever high rains occur. 

The project will relieve flooding on West Lima Avenue and the campus retention ponds near the stadium and west of Fraternity Circle.

But, current thinking means trees will be eliminated in the heart of campus, an area known as the Tundra. Construction crews will be in the way and dirt/mud will be a temporary eyesore, but flooding must be resolved.
