Following the Sandy High School Football Game
|
|
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS!
Bring the whole family to Sandy High School on Friday, October 29th for a spectacular fireworks show, sponsored by Clackamas County Bank and the City of Sandy!
The show will begin shortly after the Sandy High Pioneers play their final football game of the season. The City is working with Oregon Trail School District to coordinate logistics and parking arrangements - more details to come soon.
While the traditional July 4th fireworks show was postponed this year due to extreme fire danger, the City recognizes the importance of providing opportunities for the community to celebrate safely, especially after a challenging two years.
Look for more information as the date approaches on the City's Facebook page. We hope to see you there!

Significant Progress on Sewer Line Rehab
Wastewater System Improvement Project
|
|
We've been making great progress on our Wastewater System Improvement Project this summer! It's a complicated multi-year effort, but we're making great strides as we work to modernize our wastewater infrastructure and protect the environment.
Sewer Main Rehab
Rehab of the collection system (the pipes that take wastewater from your home to our treatment plant) in areas south of Hwy 26 between Langensand Road and Hwy 211 is now complete. Surface restoration of street cuts have been completed and work on concrete restoration will start soon.
This portion of the project will resume in areas west of Bluff Road and south of Hwy 26 in October, and will finish in November or December. If you live in a project area and have concerns about the way your landscaping or concrete was restored, please get in touch with us at pipes@ci.sandy.or.us.
Collaborating to Protect the Environment
The City is proud to collaborate with key community partners as we upgrade our system to ensure that our vital local watersheds remain protected. On August 19th the Clackamas River Basin Council held their monthly business meeting in Meinig Park and received an update on the collection system work taking place. The Council then took time to visit the existing wastewater treatment plant to observe the work underway to improve the plant capacity and treatment efficiency.
On September 8th, representatives from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) visited the plant site to review the construction work taking place. DEQ is the City's funding partner on both projects, and is providing more than $16 million in low-interest loans to finance this work. These low-interest loans allow the City do this critical infrastructure work in a way that minimizes the impact on rate payers.
