Houston Street closure for Old Town waterline work
Summary
A narrow stretch of Houston Street (81st Street) between 79th Street and South Winwood Lane closes for about four weeks while crews rebuild the road. It'll be a detour headache for commuters, but the roadway — recently inherited from Wagoner County — was in very poor shape.

Impact analysis
The work was already budgeted after the county turned the road over to the city this year.
Drivers on that corridor get a safer, smoother road, and the construction crews work safely behind a full closure.
Commuters and neighbors along the closed stretch face detours for roughly a month.

Houston Street between S. 1st and S. 6th will close for about a month while city crews install waterline and a contractor does drainage work. Homeowners on the block will still get access; traffic will detour via Dallas Street.

A contractor boring operation hit a transmission water main Monday afternoon, leaving roughly 200 homes in Oak Creek Estates without water. Crews expected service restored by evening, and the city plans to bill the contractor for repair costs.
