The City of Oneonta’s contractor, Vacri Construction, will begin construction for Washington Street Water & Sewer Mains Replacement project on Monday, June 8th, 2026. The project is expected to continue through the beginning of July 2026. Work includes replacement of the water main from Church Street to Dietz Street and a portion of the sanitary sewer main on Washington Street at the Church Street end. New service laterals and a new fire hydrant will also be installed as part of the project.
There will be no on street parking between the hours of 6:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Violators will be ticketed and may be towed at the owner’s expense. Those with special needs should contact the City at the email or number listed below. Please exercise extreme caution and obey all signs and flaggers.
Work will start with the installation of the sanitary sewer main followed by installation of the water main. Work hours are expected to be between 7:00 am to 4:00 pm on weekdays. During the project, brief water outages will be required and we will do our best to keep the residence informed ahead of the outages. Once water is restored, water users may experience a brief change in water color and/or pressure. This is a common, temporary occurrence and is not a cause for alarm.
The City will issue periodic project updates or changes via Nixle PSA as needed.
For questions or concerns related to this project, please contact the Department of Public Works by emailing [email protected], or calling 432-2100.
