The kind of flooding they’ve had in Texas and parts of Oklahoma could have been big trouble for west Tulsa County had it occurred here. Today, County Commissioners heard an updated report on problems with the levee system. Levee Commissioner Todd Kilpatrick says there are 450 potential risks of failure in the 20-mile system, compared with 50 to 80 that are usually found in similar systems when inspected. He says three million would fund a feasibility study needed before applying for federal dollars.
Kilpatrick says it would take $35-million to fix all the problems.
