Completion of the 45-mile pipeline
which will deliver Waurika Lake
water to Lawton's two reservoirs has
been delayed for at least 90 days be-
cause the prime contractor's contract
has been terminated, it was learned
Wednesday
Maj. James Johnson, resident en-
gineer for the Corps of Engineers at
Waurika. said the contractor,
Macomb Construction Co. of Houston,
terminated Aug. 28 after the firm said
it could no longer proceed with the
work.
Johnson said the project, nearing
completion, would be finished by the
bonding company, identified a
Travelers Insurance.
Johnson said the bonding company
has several options and currently is
exploring them prior to commencing
work.
During the past several weeks,
Macomb has used only a small work
force and the project is about 90 days
behind schedule, Johnson said
The $16 million contract called for
building the 42-inch pipeline to Law-
ton. plus a branch line to Duncan, and
pumping stations and other buildings.
These facilities still have not been fin-
ished.
Johnson said water for municipal
purposes could be taken from
Waurika now if the pipeline and other
facilities were finished. The lake is
about one-third full and covers about
one-half of the total surface acreage
anticipated when it is full, he said.
Completion of the pipeline, which
will dump water into Lake Ellsworth,
has been scheduled for Feb. 12, 1979.
It will be at least 90 days late because
of delays by the prime contractor,
Johnson indicated. Pipe for the re-
maining two miles of the line has not
arrived on the site, the corps official
said.
Lawton has contracted for water
storage rights in the Waurika reser-
voir which will provide the city with
about 22 million gallons of water daily
after the lake has filled.
Waurika water will be pumped to
Ellsworth and then transferred by 42-
inch pipeline to Lake Lawtonka, near
the city’s filtration plant at Medicine
Park.

Continuous complaints about loose
dogs at city lakes prompted the Lakes
and Land Commission to recommend
a city ordinance on pet control
Wednesday. The ordinance must re-
ceive city council approval before it
can be enforced.
The commission recommended that
dogs at the lakes be either on a leash
or penned up at all times. An excep-
tion to the ordinance would exempt
controlled hunting dogs during the
legal hunting seasons.
During the meeting, commissioners
learned of repairs made at Ralph’s
Resort at Lake Ellsworth, where
safety hazards had caused concern
last month.
The commissioners viewed pictures
of progress on the repairs which in-
cluded encasing electric wiring with
lumber, replacing loose and missing
boards and cleaning up debris.
Resort owner Jack Babbit was com-
mended for his cooperation in making
the repairs that the city requested.
In other action, the commission ap-
proved a recommendation to increase
the yearly rent of the Lawton Boat
Club to $400. The club, located at
Lake Lawtonka, had been paying a.
token $10 per year.
Commissioners also recommended
that limitations be placed on the num-
ber of recreational vehicles allowed to
park at the club for a five month peri-
od, from April 1 to Oct. 1, and that
the lease be approved for four years.
The board,also authorized the city
to study the possibility of allowing a
private enterprise to build a public
lodge and golf course on 192 acres on
the north end of Lake Lawtonka.
