Dear Residents and Abutters of Alden Road and Sheldon Road:
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 permittin_q, work will begin on Monday, November 23, 2020.
Based on our records, work is anticipated at the following house services:
Alden Road: #12-14 and #16-18 Alden Road.
Sheldon Road: #7, #12, #15 and #18 Sheldon Road.
If your address is not listed, then our records indicate your water service is standard 1-inch
copper in the street 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.
Should you have any questions, you may call Public Works at 617.972.6420.
Sincerely,
