Town of Oakland Sewer Line Replacement

The Town of Oakland just received notice that the Sewer Line Replacement Project will begin on Monday, August 9th.
Work on the project will begin on Second Street at Center Street and will continue north on Second Street to Omar Street. There will unfortunately be temporary traffic disruptions and detours to normal traffic flow. Portions of Second Street will be closed and parking for visitors to the Library and other businesses as well as parking for residences along the project route will be limited since the sewer line is mainly in the middle of Second Street. In addition, water and sewer customers are being warned that they may experience temporary water and/or sewer service disruptions.
The Town apologizes for the inconvenience and late notice regarding the start of this project. The contractor for the project, Beitzel Excavating, has been waiting on notification of the arrival of necessary supplies for the project and just received word that the supplies and materials will be delivered the week of August 9th. The Sewer Line Replacement Project on Second Street is expected to last several weeks before moving to other areas of Oakland. Questions can be directed to Oakland City Hall at 301-334-2691.
