Water main replacement has been completed on Massachusetts Ave. (from Pleasant Street to Marrett Road) and at the Woburn Street intersection. The installation of a pressure sustaining valve in the Grove Street area is also complete, allowing for proper pressures in the area. To-date, both a hydraulic model for the entire distribution network and an asset management plan are near completion. The model will help evaluate the Town's water break history and its relation to pipe type and age. Combined with the replacement of the remaining unlined water mains, the model will help create a long-term capital plan and ensure a proactive approach for keeping Lexington's water both safe and reliable."
