Eye On Oshkosh - City issues, Mark Rohloff and Steve Ghode, taped 12-21-2023

On the latest edition of Eye on Oshkosh, host Cheryl Hentz spends the hour chatting with Steve Gohde, assistant director of public works and the utilities general manager for the City of Oshkosh, and Oshkosh City Manager Mark Rohloff about lead water pipes and the city’s need to inspect pipes in a large section of homes in the city. This is a free service and is being mandated by the EPA and the DNR. Gohde shared with viewers/listeners what some of the side-effects are from having lead contaminants in your drinking or cooking water.

To sign up for this free inspection, call the Oshkosh water department at (920) 232-5336 or sign up online at oshkoshwater.com.

 In the second segment, Hentz and Rohloff talked about a large water infiltration pipe significantly blocked by sediment and the city’s plan to clear that pipe ASAP. They also discussed housing development projects in the city, including one for low-income residents, and the end-of-the-year tax bills city property owners received earlier this month.  You can watch the show here or by going to this link:  https://youtu.be/Xw7kNz-05O4
