SAUGUS — The town 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 work days. 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 also be established if necessary.
This sewer rehabilitation project aims to eliminate sources of water leaking into the sewer system that strain 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.
If residents have any questions about the overnight sewer work or the sewer subsystem 3A project, they can contact Town Engineer Kevin Hallion at (781) 231- 4032.
