The Oak Ridge City Council has approved up to $30,000 from the city waterworks fund for more tests for COVID-19 RNA particles in the city’s sewage.
This continued testing will help the city determine if the novel coronavirus is still widespread, how successful preventative measures are, and if the city needs to take additional measures, a memo from city staff included in the Council agenda stated.
“In addition, as more of the public are vaccinated it should help us determine its success and when protective measures can be lifted,” the memo stated.

The developer hoping to turn Alpena Public Schools’ transportation facility into an Aldi grocery store is asking Alpena Public Schools for more time to develop plans for the project.
The developer, Vautgrand Holdings, would like the school board to extend until Feb. 15 the deadline to get the plans to the school district to Feb. 15.
APS officials and the developer have a preliminary purchase agreement that would require the developer to construct a new transportation facility behind Alpena High School, near Wildcat Stadium, in order to acquire the district’s existing transportation facility on M-32.
