WATER STREET SEWER INTERCEPTOR REPLACEMENT PROJECT

Plymouth’s Department of Public Works (“DPW”) seeks to notify residents and visitors of the revised anticipated construction start date of sewer system replacement project on Water Street. It is anticipated that crews will begin mobilizing on site and establishing the construction detour pattern on January 2, 2024. Sheeting is anticipated to be installed beginning the week of January 8, 2024. The work will be limited to Water Street, between the rotary and the State Pier. 

Northern Construction Service, LLC of Palmer, Massachusetts will perform the work as the Town’s contractor.  Work will typically occur during weekdays (Monday through Friday), between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Some Saturday work may occur. No work will occur on holidays. 

Construction is expected to be completed by May 2024, prior to final paving on Water Street.  Northern has installed approximately 530 feet of the new sewer interceptor on Water Street to date, between the rotary and Chilton Street. Work will continue on Water Street, starting near the intersection with  Chilton Street.

During construction, please expect to be inconvenienced by traffic delays, detours, uneven/settling trenches, parking restrictions, and elevated noise levels. Please follow the detour signs that are installed along the project area. Traffic detours will be modified as construction progresses towards the State Pier. Please see the attached map for the first detour pattern that is anticipated to be in place. 

The Town and the Contractor will make every effort possible to minimize disturbances to residents, businesses, pedestrians, and motorists in the Water Street area throughout the duration of this project.  All businesses will remain open during construction.

The Town has retained the services of an Engineering Representative, Environmental Partners Group, Inc., to observe the work of the Contractor and to act as the DPW’s liaison.  Personnel will be onsite throughout the construction activities.

The Town appreciates the community’s patience and support during this important sewer system improvement project.  Questions may be directed to the Town’s Wastewater Manager, Doug Pinard at (508) 830-4159, extension 14213 during normal business hours, 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Weekly construction updates will be posted on the Town’s website under the Water Street Sewer Interceptor Replacement Project webpage.
