The city of Oakwood is adding two sections of water main in order to eliminate three non-looped points in the water system. In the affected areas this work will improve pressure, fire hydrant flows, and service availability in the event there is a water main break in the area.
One of the lines connects between the hydrant on the east side of Far Hills Avenue between Aberdeen Avenue and Forrer Boulevard and an existing line in Forrer Boulevard. This section of the project has begun construction and will be completed by the end of the week of March 26, weather permitting.
The second section of water main being added connects between the end of Park Road and Runnymede Road south of Walnut Springs Drive. This portion of the work will be starting March 26 and should be completed by April 6. Traffic will be maintained throughout construction in both locations.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the project please contact Kevin Weaver, Director of Engineering and Public Works, at 298-0777.
