Public Works Projects

The City of Wood Village is committed to maintaining and improving streets, utilities, and public infrastructure to support a safe, connected, and thriving community.

As we complete construction projects throughout the city, we appreciate your patience and cooperation. Please slow down in work zones, watch for crews and equipment, follow posted traffic control signs, and allow extra travel time for delays.

General construction hours are typically 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, though schedules may vary by project. Weather conditions, contractor availability, and field conditions may affect construction timelines and work hours.

Project pages provide the latest information on active construction projects, anticipated impacts, and project schedules. For questions about a specific project, please contact the Wood Village Public Works Department.

The City of Wood Village Public Works Department is sealing sewer manholes throughout the City to reduce inflow and infiltration (I&I) within the wastewater system, improve system efficiency, and extend the life of existing infrastructure. This work is part of the City’s ongoing investment in maintaining its wastewater system and identifying deficiencies before they require larger and more costly repairs.

In 2025, the City contracted with Lovett Services to seal 10 sewer manholes within the upper wastewater system. Through this project, Public Works staff demonstrated that the same work could be completed in-house using a fraction of the funds originally appropriated for the capital project. This approach allows the City to address additional work needed on certain manholes and make better use of available resources.

Work includes:

  • Sealing manholes to reduce inflow and infiltration (I&I).
  • Identifying and correcting deficiencies associated with sewer manholes.
  • Documenting manhole conditions, sizes, and depths for the City’s new asset management system.
  • Prioritizing manholes requiring larger repairs and developing future project needs and budgets.
  • Monitoring wastewater flow data to better understand the amount of I&I entering the system.

Project Details

General work hours: 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday

Location: Citywide, with initial work focused in the upper village

Start date: Summer 2025

Anticipated completion date: June 2027

Impacts

Inflow and infiltration occurs when stormwater or groundwater enters the wastewater collection system through sources such as damaged infrastructure, defective manholes, or other deficiencies. Reducing unnecessary water entering the system can improve wastewater system capacity and reduce the amount of water that must be treated.

The initial manhole rehabilitation work is expected to be completed by June 2027. Following completion, the City will monitor wastewater flow data through 2028 to develop a better understanding of the amount of I&I affecting the system and establish a baseline for future improvements.

Reducing I&I is anticipated to improve system efficiency and may reduce wastewater treatment costs paid to the City of Gresham, where the City of Wood Village contracts for wastewater treatment.

Projects in Planning

The City of Wood Village is planning accessibility and ballfield improvements at Donald L. Robertson Park to enhance safety, accessibility, and recreational opportunities for community members. 

Work includes:

  • Construction of a safer, ADA-accessible crossing between the splash pad and restroom building.
  • Improvements to address existing accessibility challenges associated with the current crossing location.
  • Replacement of worn ballfield infield soil with appropriate athletic field materials.
  • Improvements designed to enhance field safety, playability, and long-term maintenance.

Project Details

General work hours: To be determined during final design and construction planning

Location: Donald L. Robertson Park, 24300 NE Halsey St

Start date: ADA crossing design anticipated in Fall 2026; ballfield improvements anticipated later in 2026.

Anticipated completion date: ADA crossing construction anticipated in Spring 2027

Impacts

During construction, park visitors may experience:

  • Temporary closures or restrictions in active work areas.
  • Construction equipment and crews operating within the park. 
  • Temporary impacts to access routes near the splash pad, restroom area, and ballfield. 
  • Short-term disruptions associated with construction activities.

Project schedules and impacts will be communicated as construction timelines are finalized. The City will work to minimize disruptions while delivering these important park improvements.

The City of Wood Village is planning a new wetland park on approximately 4.5 acres at the southeast corner of Wood Village Boulevard and Arata Road.
