SUBMISSION AND ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY WATER LINE PERMIT WL000014180979 DATED JANUARY 2, 2019, FOR THE ROBINSON STREET WATER LINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT, PHASE II, LOCATED BETWEEN CROSSROADS BOULEVARD AND THE ROBINSON STREET WATER TOWER WEST OF 36TH AVENUE N.W.THEREOF.
