Renovation of a municipal facility in Ada, Oklahoma. Design plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

As of November 5, 2024, per owner, the project is currently under design. A design team has been identified. Construction will not begin for approximately 18 months. PROJECT INTRODUCTION: The City of Ada is proposing the improvements to Wintersmith Lake including repair of Wintersmith dam, the secondary spillway, hard armoring and dredging of the lake. This project is being funded through dedicated sales tax funds and Land and Water Conservation Grant administered by Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. The dam and spillway apron were originally constructed in 1907. In 2014, two repair projects were completed. The first project included repaving the secondary spillway and reinforcing it with grouted riprap along the sides of the existing concrete spillway. The second project was the reconstruction of the downstream side of the primary spillway with a concrete slab. An inspection conducted in 2019 states the upper and lower portions of the primary spillway are in poor condition with visible cracking throughout. The proposed new construction will essentially repair or replace the original spillway apron and surrounding revetment. This work is necessary to prevent any further erosion at the base of the dam that might lead to undermining and eventual failure of the dam. There are several cracks and seeps in the downstream face of the concrete dam. Repair of the concrete dam cracks may be necessary. Through the years, silt has caused the lake to become very shallow with increased vegetation. In addition to the repairs of the dam and primary and secondary spillway, hard armoring of the lake edge and dredging of the lake will also be necessary to improve the overall health of the lake.
