Oakdale launches hydrant flushing, pavement work this week
The Oakdale City Council's Monday meeting focused on four ongoing city services affecting residents this week: a hydrant flushing program starting immediately, a photo contest deadline tomorrow, road work on Hadley Avenue, and a free buckthorn removal service.
The city's annual hydrant flushing program began Monday and is expected to continue for 5-6 work days, weather permitting. Residents should be prepared for potentially discolored water and temporary service disruptions during this time. The city has made an interactive map available online showing which areas are affected, allowing residents to plan accordingly.
On Hadley Avenue between 10th Street and Hallmark Avenue, pavement rehabilitation work continues with paving scheduled for Thursday and Friday of this week. Motorists should expect lane closures and watch for flaggers directing traffic through the work zone.
For those interested in showcasing their photography, the deadline for Oakdale's annual photo contest is tomorrow, September 30. Only Oakdale residents are eligible to enter, and all submitted photos must have been taken within city limits.
Finally, the city is offering a free curbside buckthorn collection service on Tuesday, October 7. Buckthorn is an invasive plant species that the city helps residents remove at no cost. Residents who want to participate must submit a completed waiver by Friday, October 3 to be included in the collection.
