Saugus DPW will begin sewer project next week

SAUGUS – The Department of Public Works is scheduled to begin work next week on a sewer project that is part of ongoing programs of improving town facilities and the infrastructure. This work will include sewer line cleaning and lining and sewer manhole rehabilitation.

“The purpose of this effort is to eliminate sources of clean water leaking into the sewer system which strains its capacity, can cause sanitary sewer overflows and increase the Town’s costs for transportation and treatment of these flows,” Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree said in a press release this week.

“The project will also improve the structural integrity of these areas. This work will generally take place in the area bounded by Hamilton Street, Hanson Road, Bisbee Road, Fairmount Ave…” Crabtree said. “This work will begin on July 31 [next Monday] and should be completed by Dec. 30, 2023.” The end date is contingent on the weather. “During these construction efforts, parking will be limited in the work zones. Traffic detours will be established as required to allow for this work to proceed.”

“We thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation during this construction project which will result in better quality and more reliable infrastructure for our customers,” Crabtree said.

Residents who have any questions are encouraged to contact the Saugus DPW at 781-231-4143.
