Hancock Street, Chauncey Street and Boylston Street Residents:
The Watertown Department of Public Works and our contractor, Newport
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 and fire
hydrants on Boylston Street and Chauncey Street.
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 Monday, July 31, 2017. Preparatory work,
consisting of saw -cutting of the street will be performed on Thursday and Friday
(July 27th and July 28t") in preparation of the excavation work.
Currently, work is anticipated at the following house services: 133-135 and 179-
180 Boylston St; 11-13, 12-14, 16, 19-21, 28-30, 34, and 54-56 Chauncey St; and
58-60 Handcock St.
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. We know you will enjoy the
improved appearance and condition of your roadway for many years in the future.
Should you have any questions, you may call Public Works at 617.972.6420.
Sincerely,
Gerald S. Mee, Jr.
Superintendent of Public Works
