Planning for Municipal Water System

MONDAY, JULY 28, 2025

     

Mobilization for the construction of the elevated water tank behind Oak Ridge Town Hall located at 8315 Linville Road has begun. An increased number of construction vehicles will be entering and exiting the construction access road causing minor traffic stops along the work zone area. Please drive slowly and follow all road construction signs/directions if you travel in this area. Thank you for your cooperation.
