The Water Street sewer main replacement that was appropriated at this year's town meeting will begin on Monday, July 20. Alternating two-way traffic will continue to flow in one lane during construction with minimal interruption.
The work zone will be from 59 Water Street (former site of the DPW garage) to approximately the Water Street Grille. Traffic on Latham Street may be re-routed over Meacham Street from time to time. A portion of the Water Street town lot will be cordoned off to stage construction materials and equipment. Construction is expected to be complete in six weeks.
The construction is necessary to replace cracked and collapsing pipe that was detected during our camera survey of the main. Breached pipe is a significant contributor to groundwater infiltration which can overload the HWQD treatment plant and increases costs to Williamstown ratepayers.
