Residents may notice Wheat State crews working near the bridge on the east side of town in the coming days. Wheat State will be repairing and reinforcing their fiber cables after water entered an access point, froze, and constricted the lines. This issue caused the internet outage on Tuesday, December 2nd.

The City appreciates Wheat State’s quick response to the outage and their efforts to restore service to customers as promptly as possible. The upcoming construction is part of their work to prevent similar issues in the future.

While significant delays aren’t expected, drivers may see workers and equipment in the area and are encouraged to use caution when passing through.

This year we documented all the behind-the-scenes work that goes into the City of Oxford’s preparation for Christmas in the Country! 🎥🌟

Our goal each November is to make sure every light twinkles, every decoration shines, and the whole town is ready for the big celebration the weekend after Thanksgiving. 🎅🎁✨

The videos below give you a peek at just how much time, effort, and holiday spirit our Utility Crew puts in to make Oxford look wonderfully Christmassy! 🌲💡❤️

From hanging lights to setting up decorations, they work hard to bring the magic of the season to life for everyone in our community. 🎄🙌✨

Enjoy the festive fun! 🎉🎀

City Office and Library will be closed on Thursday November 25th and Friday November 26th for Thanksgiving and Christmas in the Country.  If you have a Utility Emergency call 911.

***UPDATE***

The City Crew discovered that a bad insulator at the City's power plant was the cause of the two blown fuses earlier this morning. They have replaced the insulator along with both fuses so there should be no further outages. 

The two brief power outages this morning were caused by blown fuses. Our city crew is currently working to locate the source of the issue. Thank you for your patience. We'll provide an update when available.
