Dear Louise Street Abutter:
The Watertown Department of Public Works announces that National Grid will be starting
construction to install a new plastic gas main along Louise Street from Arsenal Street to North
Beacon Street in order to replace an aged gas main. The project was coordinated through our
Pre -Construction meetings.
You are receiving this notice since you are an immediate abutter to the project area. The
project will include construction activities such as excavation and backfilling, paving, services
renewals, restoration of disturbed surface areas, traffic control, and site clean up.
Contractors will be performing the work on behalf of National Grid. Feeney Brothers
Excavation Corporation of Boston, MA will be responsible for excavation, backfilling and
restoration.
Work is proposed to begin on Monday, June 19, 2017 and is anticipated to be complete in
three months. Final cleanup and paving restoration activities will be necessary.
Work hours will generally be between 7:00 am and 4:00 pm Monday through Friday, with the
potential for Saturday work. There may be dust and/or noise generated by the work and minor
traffic / detour inconveniences. Existing gas services will be disrupted when new installations /
