Oxford is perched at the headwaters of the Tar-Pamlico River Basin.
Everyone living in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin - industries, businesses,
farmers, city residents - has a responsibility to help keep its waters
and estuaries clean and healthy.
The City of Oxford has made a commitment to
meet that responsibility by investing in a the new Oxford Wastewater Treatment Plant.
