Making Saugus Better Town will begin work soon on several pump station improvement projects

(Editor’s Note: Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree’s Office recently issued the following Public Advisory for Upcoming Pump Station Improvement Projects.)

Town Manager Scott Crabtree is pleased to announce work will begin soon to rehabilitate and upgrade several pump stations as part of the town’s ongoing efforts to improve public works infrastructure.

The Town of Saugus is notifying residents of pump station improvement projects that will take place at the following locations:

• Lincoln Avenue pump station
• Lamplighters Way pump station
• Lynnhurst School pump station
• Route 1 pump station

Construction will be performed by C. Naughton Corporation, with Weston & Sampson Engineering providing oversight.

Work is estimated to begin the week of Aug. 25, 2025 and is expected to be completed by Nov. 15, 2025.

The Lamplighters Way project is expected to begin the last week of August and continue to early September. A section of Lamplighters Way will need to be restricted to one lane as pipe is being installed.

For the Lynnhurst School project, which is expected to start in mid-September and to go into mid-October, traffic is not expected to be disturbed for extended periods of time on Walnut Street or Elm Street. Police details will be coordinated as needed.

All of the work for the Lincoln Avenue pump station and Route 1 pump station projects will occur on their existing parcels.

“These important master plan infrastructure improvements would not be possible without the dedication and leadership of the Saugus Board of Selectmen, the Finance Committee and Town Meeting. I want to extend my sincere gratitude for their continued support and vision, which allow us to make critical investments that will strengthen our community and serve the residents of Saugus for generations to come,” said Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree.

The Town of Saugus thanks residents in advance for their patience and cooperation while these important infrastructure improvements are completed.
