HOT SPRINGS -- The Hot Springs Board of Directors approved a $10,458,975 contract Tuesday night for construction of 5.6 miles of the Lake Ouachita water supply project's 17-mile raw waterline.
The contract awarded to McKee Utility Contractors Inc. of Oklahoma puts more than 12 miles of the line under contract. In August, the board awarded a $4,769,153 contract to Belt Construction of Oklahoma for the 2.5-mile upper segment from the intake the city will build above Blakely Mountain Dam to the Ouachita Treatment Plant on Cozy Acres Road.
In May, the board awarded a $9,235,000 contract to Kajacs Contractors Inc. of Little Rock for the 4.5-mile lower segment tying into the treatment plant that the city will build on Little Mazarn Road. The city told the board that the lower segment will start near North and South Moore roads and Airport Road. It will go south down Pittman Road, around the Deer Creek Subdivision and across Marion Anderson Road before boring under Little Mazarn Creek and turning east toward the new plant site.
