Planned Water Service Disruptions
Expect Water Service Disruptions Sept.-Nov. 2024
While installing the new sewer mains, crews have also been installing new water mains while the road is already trenched. It is now the time in the project to swap water customers’ service lines from the old water main to the new water main.
This will require a brief, overnight disruption of water service for each water customer within the sewer district on Great Road and King Street. This work is scheduled for September 23 through November 30 and possibly later until work ceases for the winter, but is subject to change at the contractor’s discretion and due to weather. This schedule has been updated from the original completion estimate of November 15.
What To Expect
- LELWD is working with the contractor, Revoli Construction, to inform customers of when to expect a brief service interruption. Due to many factors, advanced notice may not be possible. However, the timing and speed of the brief shutoff should minimize the impact to residents and businesses. The work will be done overnight and the swap of a service line from one main to another takes about 10 minutes.
- Overnight work at the curbside will cause noise.
What To Do
- Set aside water now for use during the brief disruption.
- When service is restored, run the cold tap for 5 minutes to clear any discolored water.
- If you have questions or concerns, please call Tyler O’Brien, Water and Sewer Operations Coordinator at 978-540-2286.
