DHEC offers COVID-19 vaccine clinic in Ridgeland
Jasper County Sun Times
Bobbie Baker walked to his car Thursday afternoon at the Jasper County Health Department in Ridgeland, happy to have gotten his first COVID-19 vaccine shot. I feel relieved like crazy, but I am not going wild or anything, still being careful, Baker said. I feel a whole lot better than I did before I got it.
Baker, 75, of Gillisonville, said he took a short, 10-minute drive to receive the shot. He was one of about 150 people who got appointments at the first of two Moderna vaccine clinics offered by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.

City of Enid
The city of Enid received $205 million in funding Tuesday from the state as part of its water pipeline project, the cityâs most expensive project ever.
The 30-year loan for Enidâs Kaw Lake Water Supply Project is Oklahoma Water Resources Boardâs largest-ever, according to a press release.
Through the approved contract with Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, Enid Municipal Authority will use the funds of this loan in combination with three previously approved OWRB loans to fund the pipeline project.
About 70 miles of pipeline will transport around 10 million gallons of water a day from an intake structure constructed at Kaw Lake to a booster pump station in Enid.
