Work will include replacement or repair of deteriorated sewers, force mains and manholes in order to improve flow and reduce inflow and infiltration into the system. Engineering investigation and evaluation will continue on sewers throughout town, including those in remote, hard to access areas. A significant lining project is under construction in the Dunback Meadow area and the Bow Street area, expected to be completed this winter. Future rehabilitation is anticipated in sewer basins 2, 11 and 12 and investigations in basins 6, 7 and 10 will be performed next. These capital investments improve the operation of the sewer system, reduce backups and potential overflows, prevent system malfunctions and reduce the measured flows through the MWRA meter."
