The Oak Ridge City Council in a special meeting Tuesday evening, April 18, will discuss a water intake bypass during construction of the new water plant at the Clinch River.

During the meeting, the seven-member Council will consider awarding a contract worth up to $367,4000 to Morgan Construction for materials and installation of the bypass water line at the water intake site.

The special meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Oak Ridge Municipal Building Courtroom. You can see the agenda here.

After the special meeting, the seven-member Council will hear a presentation of a housing study by the Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce. There will also be a follow-up discussion of the school resource officer program, an update about the conference center plaza project, and a review of the airport project. You can see the agenda here.
