Atlantic Telephone Membership Cooperative now offering Digital Cable Television service on Ocean Isle Beach

Ocean Isle Beach Property Owners:

Atlantic Telephone Membership Cooperative (ATMC), a local communications cooperative that has served Brunswick County since the mid-1950s, has informed us that they are now able to provide Digital Cable Television service on Ocean Isle Beach.  ATMC has provided cable TV services in Shallotte, Sunset Beach, Calabash and surrounding areas since the early 1980s. 
 
As a result of recent technology upgrades to their network on Ocean Isle Beach, ATMC now offers not only a full lineup of digital cable TV channels, but also high speed broadband Internet with speeds up to 50 Megs. With the introduction of ATMC's digital cable TV and new broadband Internet services, the citizens and homeowners on Ocean Isle Beach have another option for communications services. We feel confident that competition for your cable TV business will raise the level of service offered to everyone. 

The Town of Ocean Isle Beach is pleased to welcome ATMC’s cable TV service to the island.  For more information call 888-367-2862, or visit www.atmc.net/oib.  

NATURAL CANAL DREDGING PROJECT UPDATE (March 22, 2013)

The Natural Canal dredging project has now been completed.  This authorized hydraulic dredging project provided for the dredging of approximately 18,500 linear feet of residential “natural” canals, which were previously dredged in the October 2007-March 2008 dredge cycle.  These canals consist of four residential canals (canals #14 to #17) located between Laurinburg and Concord Streets and commercial canals (canals #21, #22 and #23) located between Causeway and Laurinburg Streets, as well as the entrance canals located north of residential canals #8 and #3 (between Raeford and Union Streets and Cumberland and Moore Streets, respectively).  The dredge prism consisted of a 40’ wide maximum, except at modified areas around the commercial canal where the maximum width was 20’ wide. The design elevation depth was -6.0” MLW.  Approximately 30,143 cubic yards of material was removed as a result of this dredging project.  All material excavated was pumped to US Army Corps of Engineers Disposal Area No. 306, located approximately ½ mile west of the Odell Williamson Bridge along the AIWW. 

The Town would like to thank our property owners and guests for their assistance in assuring that this was a smooth and successful project.  The next dredging cycle for the Natural Canals is scheduled for 2018-2019.
