🌎🌱 Happy Earth Day!! 🌱🌎


Oxford News, Events

We had such a wonderful day celebrating with Mrs. Carpenter’s 1st grade class! πŸ’š The students wanted to help with a project at one of our beautiful parks, and planting flowers is always a perfect way to brighten up our community. 🌸🌼

These planters had previously been downtown, but we thought they’d be a great addition to Cave Park—and the 1st graders did an amazing job bringing them to life! 🌷

A big thank you to Primarily Plants and Floral, especially KayDee and Cassidy, for helping us pick out the best flowers for the park. 🌿 And another huge thank you to Malinda Jellings with Bread of Life Bakery for the delicious cookies that made the day even sweeter! πŸͺ

Fun was had by all, and we’re so grateful for a community that comes together to make our town shine! ✨

⚠️ WATER DISCOLORATION UPDATE ⚠️


URGENT, Oxford News, Events

πŸ’§πŸ’§ Some residents may have noticed discolored water beginning yesterday evening. The issue originated when a third-party contractor working for Brightspeed Internet struck a 3" water line owned by Rural Water District #6 (RWD #6). The line, located west of Oxford between Greenwich Road and their pumphouse, was repaired later that day.

Once water service was restored, the return of water pressure stirred up sediment (mud and dirt) that had settled at the bottom of the water lines. This caused temporary discoloration within the system.

This type of situation is similar to what occurred earlier this year following repairs to the City’s main water line.

Residents may notice varying levels of murkiness depending on which water line serves their home and how much sediment was present. If your water appears discolored, running your faucets intermittently can help flush the lines and clear the water more quickly. Cleaning or replacing any water filters may also be helpful.

The system is expected to continue clearing, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. πŸ’§πŸ’§
