State Street Sewer Project

Night construction is under way on a new major sewer pipeline on State Street between Foothills Road and Northshore Road. To minimize impacts to the traveling public, this work is being conducted between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Please expect delays and plan extra travel time during work hours.

Construction is expected to continue through summer 2022.

Heat Wave

Summertime weather is finally here! With temperatures expected to reach the mid-90’s we’ve complied tips on how to keep yourself, family, neighbors and pets safe.

This weekend, while it's tempting to cool down in our natural waterways, swimming in rivers, lakes and creeks should be avoided. In addition to the water being extremely cold, recent heavy rains have created fast moving rivers, creeks and streams.

Field Day Event

Join the Lake Oswego Amateur Radio Emergency Services team on Saturday, June 25, as they participate in Field Day - an on-the-air radio event involving thousands of ham radio operators throughout the U.S. and Canada.

From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., LO ARES will set up a temporary transmitting station in front of Lakeridge High School. Meet the LO ARES team and learn about the many ways they assist the LO Fire Department by providing auxiliary radio communications during disasters, such as the September 2020 Oregon wildfires and the February 2021 ice storm.

Field Day is a live, long-distance two-way radio demo - educational, operational, and fun!

Fireworks - Keep it Legal, Keep it Safe

In Oregon, retail fireworks can be sold between June 23 and July 6. Even with all the recent rain, fireworks can be dangerous.

Here are a few important safety tips:

BE PREPARED before lighting fireworks: Keep water available by using a garden hose or bucket.
BE SAFE when lighting fireworks: Keep children and pets away from fireworks.
BE RESPONSIBLE after lighting fireworks: Never re-light a dud. Wait 15 to 20 minutes then soak it in a bucket of water before disposal.
BE AWARE: Use only legal fireworks and use them only in legal places (not in City or State Parks).
