Leaders Tour Aging Levee System

Tulsa County

The Tulsa Arkansas River Levee gets an inspection from the Assistant Secretary for Army Civil Works. R.D. James toured the levee with local officials yesterday.

There is great concern the aging levee system could fail in a major flooding event. It would take millions of dollars to make the needed repairs. Officials admit they don't know where to get that money.
