Fire chief flags dead hydrant on Sunset; council considers inquiry about taking over sewer line to Fargo
Summary
Southern Valley Fire & Rescue reported three incidents and a dead hydrant on Sunset; Chief Mahoney asked staff to investigate. Resident Jim Hausauer asked whether Oxbow would take ownership of a sewer line to Fargo; the mayor and council said more information is needed and questioned whether Fargo was "dumping a 'headache'" on the city.
Southern Valley Fire & Rescue told the council on March 24 that it handled three recent incidents — including a downed power line and a gas leak in Oxbow — and that the department is preparing for wildfire season. Chief Mahoney reported a dead hydrant on Sunset and asked that Dalager look into what needs to be fixed. The minutes say a survey will be sent to residents and can be submitted online.
A resident, Jim Hausauer, contacted Mayor Jim Nyhof to ask whether the City of Oxbow would consider taking over ownership of a sewer line to Fargo. The mayor said he was unsure what such a transfer would entail; council members said they would need more information and questioned whether the City of Fargo was effectively trying to "dump a 'headache'" on Oxbow. The minutes do not record any formal motion or vote on the sewer-line inquiry; council members asked staff to gather more information before any decision is made.
