CIPP Sewer Restoration - Week of 8/29

Weather permitting, City contractors will rehabilitate aging sewers using a method called cured-in-place-pipe lining (CIPP lining) to provide more structurally sound pipes without excavation.

Locations:

  • Avon St. (Central St. to #45 Avon)
  • Highland Ave (Central St. to #138 Highland)
  • School St. (Oxford St. to Highland Ave.)
  • Oxford St. (#59 to #97)
  • Carter Terrace
  • Central St. (Berkeley St. to Cambria St.)



Anticipated Work Schedule (subject to change): Work expected to take place during the week of 8/29. Weekdays between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Schedule is subject to change due to weather or other factors. Hours may extend to 10 p.m. on certain streets with larger diameter sewers.

Odor: Plastic- or glue-like odors may be detectable when the liner cures. This will dissipate quickly once the process is complete. If you are sensitive to odors, consider opening windows or doors to increase airflow.

Noise: Moderate noise expected from truck engines and equipment.

Traffic Impacts: On-street parking restrictions expected on both sides of the work zone. Isolated street closures will be in effect. Onsite crews will provide detour signage and help abutters get in and out of their driveway as needed.

If you have questions, please email construction@somervillema.gov or call the Engineering Division at 617-625-6600 ext. 5400.
