Temporary Water Discoloration

๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ‘ท‍โ™‚๏ธ Temporary Water Discoloration ๐Ÿ‘ท‍โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ง

The City of Oxford would like to let residents know that Mayer Specialty Services recently performed maintenance on several sewer lines in town. As part of their work, they needed to fill equipment from a nearby fire hydrant.

This process can cause a temporary brown tint in the water for some residents. The discoloration is due to the high water pressure stirring up natural sediment in the water lines. While it may look unsightly, the water is safe to use and should clear within a few hours.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we complete these important maintenance projects for our community.

On Saturday, July 26th, the Oxford Police Department hosted our 1st Annual Community Night Out, and what a night it was! We were thrilled to be joined by the Oxford First Responders, Sumner Rural Fire District #3, and the Sumner County Sheriff's Department.

The evening was filled with fun for the whole family — temporary tattoos, s’mores, free drinks courtesy of Bank of Commerce, and awesome tunes from DJ Stan! ๐ŸŽถ

But the real highlight? Watching the kids laugh and play as they got sprayed down by the fire truck ๐Ÿš’๐Ÿ’ฆ 

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and to all those who helped make this night a success. We’re already looking forward to next year!
