Victor Drive Water Main Replacement Project
Project Number
PW-22-05
Project Description
This project involves upgrades to the water distribution system piping on Victor Drive. The Contractor for this work is C.J.P. and Sons Construction Co., Inc. of Millis, MA. The upgrades include replacing the existing 8” cast iron water main with new 8” polyvinyl chloride (PVC) water main. Water service connections between the new 8” PVC water main and the curb stop (valve typically located at the property line of each house) will also be replaced with new HDPE tubing (1” diameter in most locations). Existing fire hydrants and hydrant piping will be replaced with new hydrants.
Temporary Bypass Water Main is planned for use during this project. There will be some water service interruptions that are necessary during this construction project. Notices will be distributed to affected households at least 48 hours in advance of the anticipated shutdowns.
Residents that have irrigation systems and/or electric dog fences located within the right-of-way are advised to mark out their location as soon as possible to prevent these systems from being damaged by excavation. Please note that the Town is not responsible for any damages to these components installed within the Town’s right-of-way but we will make every effort to avoid damaging them if we are made aware of their presence in advance.
