The project will include the cleaning and lining of approximately 15,000 linear feet of sewer lines and spot repairs to remove excess water infl ow and infi ltration (I&I) in the sewer system. The purpose of this effort is to eliminate sources of water leaking into the sewer system that strains its capacity, can cause sanitary sewer overfl ows and increase the town’s costs for transportation and treatment of these fl ows. The project will also improve the structural integrity of these areas. As part of an Administrative Consent Order originally signed in 2005 to eliminate sanitary sewer overfl ows into the Saugus River, the town, with its engineering consultants CDM Smith, identified nine subsystems that were prioritized in order to reduce the amount of I&I in the sewer sysCelebrating Our 52nd Year Chris 2024 tem. With the consent order complete, the town has maintained this positive momentum by rehabilitating more sewer subsystems that were also identifi ed in the study to remove I&I sources. Based on preliminary conversations with the contractor, work on sewer subsystem 3A is anticipated to begin in September. The project is expected to last six months, with crews halting sewer repairs once cold weather sets in and then picking back up in the spring, with work potentially continuing through June. The community can expect some traffic impact in the work zones to allow the construction efforts to safely proceed. The cleaning and repair of sewer lines on Route 1 will take place overnight (from 9pm to 5am) to mitigate any traffic disruptions. We thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation during this construction project that will result in better quality and more reliable sewer infrastructure for our community. It’s important the town maintain its commitment to sewer infrastructure upgrades to ease the burden that excess inflow and infiltration places on our aging sewer system,” Town Manager Crabtree said. “The town has successfully reduced water infiltration rates through past sewer rehabilitation projects and we want to keep moving in the right direction. We have come a long way from the days of discharging raw sewage into the Saugus River prior to this administration.” Town Manager Crabtree has also prioritized signifi cant investments to improve town sewer pumping stations, including a redesign of the Lincoln Avenue pumping station to feature a bypass and the replacement of every pump and driver at the station.
