Adding more to those traffi c concerns is a recent meeting that occurred in East Boston where local residents were told that all traffi c for the Suff olk Downs Summer Concert Series would be diverted to the Revere entrances of Suff olk Downs. I find this deeply disturbing considering the City Council has had no contact with the leaders of this programming and had to fi nd this out second hand. There continues to be little to no information on the concert series website and we need answers. Our 50th Anniversary Dan - 1972 We Sell Cigars & Accessories!

The residents of Revere deserve answers and transparency and as an At-Large City Councilor, I will demand them. If this is in fact the traffi c plan for this concert series, it needs to change immediately. We’re already forced to endure the traffi c caused by the closure of the Sumner Tunnel. The additional burden of traffi c from the Summer Concert Series will make this summer unbearable for the residents of Revere. , we will be requestGERRY VISCONTI Councillor-at-Large Acting DPW Supt. offers insight into city’s hydrant system By Barbara Taormina R evere has 875 hydrants throughout the city, and each year Water Department crews fl ush and inspect every one of them. Still, a recent incident on Oak Island had city councillors concerned enough to request a report from the Water & Sewer Department about the status and operational integrity of the city’s hydrant system. Councillor-at-Large Dan Rizzo said the request for information was not intended to imply that Water Department crews weren’t doing their job. “No one wants to go down in a hole when it’s 10 degrees below zero on a December night to fi x a leaking pipe,” said Rizzo, who added that the Water Department does a top-notch job and it’s a small department with a lot of responsibility. Water & Sewer Dept. Superintendent Don Ciaramella explained that the problem was not with the hydrants but rather with the pipes that feed them. “If you open multiple hydrants on one six-inch line, you’re not going to get much water pressure,” said Ciaramella, who added that the main lines need to be upsized and work is being done on that. Ciaramella showed the council a section of pipe from Avon Street that was so clogged it was impossible to look through it. The problem is the water main projects and funding, said Ciaramella. “I think we have the hydrants well under control.” This year, so far, the department has inspected 403 hydrants. Ciaramella said six of those hydrants are out of service, 29 have been replaced and 21 are going out to bid. Ward 5 City Councillor John Powers said getting water through the six-inch pipes was a chronic problem that goes back 40, 50, 60 years. “Lines were neglected. You’re making progress getting these lines corrected,” Powers told Ciaramella.
