Oakwood to use sewer funds to pay for culvert repairs

By Ken Stanford Contributing Editor
OAKWOOD - Oakwood is going to use money from the city's sewer fund to help pay for repairing or replacing culverts damaged by massive flooding last month.

City Manager Stan Brown confirmed Tuesday that $490,333 in sewer funds will be used for the work, which includes replacing a culvert on McEver Road at Mud Creek.

A contractor has already been chosen for the work with an expected completion date of Aug. 2.

The city council resolution authorizing the use of sewer funds for the work calls for the sewer fund to be fully reimbursed from the city's general fund by the end of 2014.

Oakwood is also getting $200,000 in emergency funds from the state Department of Transportation to use for culvert repairs.
