Safety Update: New All-Way Stop

The intersection of Fifth Street and Bluegrass Parkway is now an all-way stop. Previously a two-way stop, this change was made to improve safety for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians using the intersection.

As the community adjusts to the new traffic pattern, please approach the area with caution. Stay alert, follow all posted signs, and allow extra time and patience as everyone becomes familiar with the updated configuration.

Your attention to this change helps keep Oswego’s roads safe for all.

Smart Summer Watering

Here in Oswego, our water comes from a deep underground aquifer, and while it’s a great source, it’s not unlimited. That’s why the Village has put conservation guidelines in place to help make sure we all have the water we need—today and for years to come.

There are simple ways to do your part at home. Keep an eye on your water bill for unusual spikes, fix leaky faucets or toilets, and consider installing water-efficient fixtures if you're renovating. Outside, watering your lawn during the approved morning or evening hours helps reduce waste, and raising your mower blade can help your grass hold moisture better.

Oswego also offers helpful resources like seasonal rain barrel sales and a water conservation pamphlet full of easy tips. With just a few small changes, we can all help protect this essential resource and keep our community thriving.

For more information and helpful resources, visit the Village’s water conservation page here.
