With strong resources in Central Oklahoma, Veolia is well-positioned to implement new partnership with Sapulpa, a growing community of 23,000 located 15 miles southwest of downtown Tulsa.

The Sapulpa City Council has entered into a five-year agreement with Veolia. The agreement may be renewed for three additional five-year terms if both parties agree.

“Working with the city of Sapulpa to reach this agreement has been a meaningful experience and we are very excited to partner with Sapulpa to create the wastewater treatment performance that its residents and businesses deserve,” said Rory Munns, president of municipal water operations for Veolia’s Central Region. “Veolia has a wealth of global resources and experience, as well as decades of service to Oklahoma communities with our dedicated local staff, that we will use to serve the people of Sapulpa.”

As part of the agreement, Veolia will advise the city on its capital needs in maintaining and improving the wastewater treatment plant, which handles 3.5 million gallons of wastewater on an average day and is capable of handling twice that amount.
