“The lake-full phase is wrapping up. We can see the light at the end of the pipe,” said Jane Heisler, communications director for the Lake Oswego Interceptor Sewer Project. “We used $33 million of our budget as of Feb. 1.”

Pile Installation Near Blue Heron Bay in March

^{February 25, 2010}

LOIS construction is moving back to the west end of the lake next week between the main lake and the South Shore Bridge. Crews on barges will be installing steel piles down the center of the inlet, north of the South Shore Bridge. The piles will eventually support a portion of the wastewater pipeline.

Boat access north of the South Shore bridge into the main lake will be limited next week. It will be restricted beginning the week of March 8, 2010. The work is scheduled to last approximately 2 to 3 weeks.

We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the LOIS Team at 503-699-7466.
