Description

Press release from the Town of Shrewsbury: May 27, 2022 May 27, 2022 Update: Contractor, National Water Main Cleaning Company, will not be working today and will continue the cleaning and television inspection of sewer pipelines and manholes on June 1st. During these routine inspections, the sewer pipelines are cleaned with a pressurized water truck and a sewer-jetting nozzle and television inspected with a closed-circuit television camera. The regular work hours will generally be Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with some exceptions for after hours. It is recommended to keep the lids of toilets closed while this work is taking place as the vacuum pressure created by the cleaning may cause air to escape though the traps and drains of your plumbing fixtures.

Streets anticipated to be inspected on June 1, 2022: Heather Road, Heronwood Drive, Vinney Way, John Street, Grace Avenue, Darren Drive, Shannon Drive, Cedar Road, and Fairfax Street. The purpose of the project is to remove infiltration and inflow (I/I) from entering the sanitary sewer system and upgrade critical infrastructure in your area. The project area is located throughout town and began on Wednesday, July 14, 2021, and continue through July 1, 2022, weather dependent. The construction will consist of trenchless wastewater pipeline rehabilitations including cleaning, inspection, testing and sealing of pipe joints and service connections, and cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) installation. Trenchless manhole rehabilitations will consist of cementitious and epoxy lining, inflow dish installation, repairing manhole cones, chimneys, walls and benches and inverts. Construction will also include open cut point repairs of gravity sewers and resetting and replacing manhole frames and covers. While the sewer upgrade project is being conducted in your area, Weston & Sampson and the town will have a resident engineer on site inspecting the construction project. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Water & Sewer Division at (508) 841-8506.
