Pinery Outfall Cleaning: Douglas County was successful in cleaning 40 outfalls in 2024 and has extended the program into 2025. We anticipate cleaning an additional 27 outfalls during 2025. Work will occur on these outfalls in either late winter/early spring, and again in fall/winter after the vegetation has died back due to frost.
Douglas County (the “County”) will continue to partner with Pinery Water & Wastewater District (the “District”) on projects that arise in the Pinery subdivision. Annually, the District replaces water mains in certain roadways within the Pinery subdivision. The County also coordinates/participates in the design phases with the District to determine if roadside drainage repairs (and other relative issues within the project area) should be included in their yearly projects.
