Town plans additional overnight sewer work for parts of Main Street

(Editor’s Note: Saugus Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree’s office issued the following press release this week.)

The Town of Saugus is notifying residents of upcoming overnight work to line sewer lines on a portion of Main Street.

This work planned over the next few weeks will include the cleaning and lining of sewer lines in sewer subsystem 3A. Work has been scheduled overnight to minimize the traffic impact of the work that remains to rehabilitate the sewer subsystem.

The overnight sewer work will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. on the designated workdays. The schedule is as follows:

Sunday, April 27, to Thursday, May 1, on Main Street from Route 1 to Newhall Avenue

Sunday, May 4 to Thursday, May 8, on Main Street from Route 1 to Newhall Avenue

Sunday, May 11, to Thursday, May 15, on Main Street from Forest Street to Lynn Fells Parkway

The community can expect some traffic impact in the work zones. Police details will be used for each shift, and efforts will be made to mitigate any traffic disruptions. Traffic detours will be established if necessary.

This sewer rehabilitation project aims to eliminate sources of water leaking into the sewer system that strains its capacity, can cause sanitary sewer overflows, and increase the town’s costs for transportation and treatment of these flows.

The project will also improve the structural integrity of these areas. The town thanks you in advance for your patience and cooperation during this project that will result in better quality and more reliable sewer infrastructure for the community.

If you have any questions about the overnight sewer work or the sewer subsystem 3A project, please contact call Town Engineer Kevin Hallion at 781- 231-4032.
