Watertown Sewer Extension - Feb 2017

Municipality where proposed project would be located: Watertown

Project Location: Bunker Hill Road, Lexington & Concord Drives

Project Description:  The proposed project includes construction of water mains and sanitary sewers to serve the area of Concord and Lexington Drives  and connection to the existing Town of Watertown water and sewer systems.  Water mains and sewers will address identified water pollution and potable water quality and quantity problems due to relatively shallow bedrock, poor soils and failing septic systems.  The DEEP will be providing funding only for the sewer mains on this project.  In the future, the Town may apply for funding through the Department of Public Health's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program for the water main construction as a separate project.

Sewer and water mains for the Concord Drive area extension will be sized to accommodate the existing homes in the Concord Drive area, but with reserved capacity for future water main and sanitary sewer extensions to other properties in future potential extension areas which have similar identified water pollution and potable water quality and quantity problems.  The timing and funding sources for future phases are unknown.  These future phases will be initiated if and when water quality issues require remedial action and may not occur in numeric order.
