Lawton has started the Ellsworth Dam Rehabilitation Project to repair the aging spillway and improve the dam’s structural integrity and safety.
According to the City of Lawton website, the project, managed by McMillen, Inc., began on April 8 and is currently about 5% complete.
The $46 million project aims to ensure Lake Ellsworth continues to provide water for the city and support long-term infrastructure needs. City officials state the project is a key investment in protecting and sustaining one of Lawton’s important natural resources.
