SEWER CONSTRUCTION UPDATE FOR WEEK ENDING 9/11/25
We here on the sewer team hope you had a wonderful summer and are looking forward to fall. With the end of season almost here, it is time to start sewer work here in town. This is our first Facebook post of the season, and we will be posting every Thursday (or sometimes Friday) until work ends in June of 2027. We hope you find these posts informative and helpful while we continue this very important project. Here goes….
While we will not be giving weekly updates on the satellite treatment facility over on Route 6, we do want to give you the current update on how the project went this summer and where we are heading into the fall. The dewatering of the site is still happening, and we expect this to continue until February/March of 2027. They have poured the concrete base mat as well as the lower walls for the Headworks Building. Over the fall and winter they will continue pouring concrete for the remaining lower walls as well as the elevated slabs for the Headworks Building. In the spring of 2027 they will backfill the Headworks Building and start masonry work for the electrical room and chemical storage room. The completion of the satellite treatment facility is on schedule to be completed at the end of 2028/beginning of 2029.
The Central Vacuum Station down on Ryder Street Ext, is still undergoing upgrades even though the structure itself has been complete since last year. This fall and winter they will be installing new sewage pumps, new vacuum pumps, new odor control carbon absorbers as well as electrical upgrades. During this work there will be some planned shutdowns of the vacuum sewer. When this needs to occur there will be ample notification of what this shutdown will entail and what you as residents and business owner will need to do (or not do) during these shutdowns. We will do our best to keep you informed every step of the way as to make the inconvenience short and as easy as possible.
This week the Robert B. Our team started mobilizing equipment and did the needed mark outs to start sewer construction work next week.
Starting Monday 9/14/26 and continuing thru mid October, RBO will be doing sewer line installation and sewer stub installation on both Jerome Smith Road and Winslow Street. They plan to start at Jerome Smith on Monday and expect to be on Jerome Smith Road approximately a week to ten days. They will work their way towards Winslow Street. Work will start at 7am and end at 4pm daily and will involve full road closures. You must plan ahead for parking as well as entering or exiting your property during working hours. For those of you who need to get to the school or the community center, please enter Winslow Street from Bradford Street. You will need to exit through the monument parking lot.
The sewer team would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding during this very important project. If you have any questions or concerns, please call or email Sherry Prada, DPW Deputy Director at 508-487-7060 or [email protected].
