SUBSTANDARD WATER SERVICE REPLACEMENTS
Waverley Ave. (Orchard St. to Belmont St.)
Dear Residents and Abutters of Waverley Ave.:
The Watertown Department of Public Works and our contractor, Commonwealth
Construction, would like to inform you that we will be replacing only sub -standard
(cement lined and/or cast iron, or undersized copper) water services. This work is in
preparation for road reconstruction next year.
Replacements and upgrades will include only the water service pipe from the town
water main to the curb stop (in the sidewalk area). The work for each home will
require approximately 3-6 hours to complete.
Weather permitting, work will begin on Wednesday, October 28, 2020.
Based on our records, work is anticipated at the following house services: #235, #246,
#249-251, #252, #265, #286, #291, #298, #300-302, #307, and #309. If your address
is not listed, then our records indicate your water service is standard 1-inch copper
and does not require replacement.
The Watertown Police will be informed of the construction and its effects. Typical
hours of construction work are from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
We understand that the process is noisy, messy and disruptive and apologize in
advance for inconvenience you may experience.
Should you have any questions, you may call Public Works at 617.972.6420.
Sincerely,
c�A'
Gerald S. Mee, Jr.
Superintendent of Public Works
