Council discusses proposed sewer hook‑up contract with City of Fargo; estimated cost ~$6,000 per hookup

The City of Oxbow Council reviewed a proposed intergovernmental contract that would transfer ownership of approximately 125 sewer hook‑ups from the City of Fargo to Oxbow and set a per‑hookup cost of $6,000. Council members discussed a 50/50 split for ongoing maintenance costs and the possibility of pushing the first payment from 2027 to 2028.

Council did not record a final motion on the contract during the meeting; council members described the hook‑up count as “around 125” and treated the figure as approximate. The item remains under discussion pending a formal agreement that would clarify timing of payments, maintenance responsibilities and the exact number of hook‑ups to be accepted.
