Woburn Street Water Main Improvement Project

Dear Residents:

8/14/19 Update:

Starting the week of August 19, 2019, Joseph P. Cardillo & Son, Inc., a contractor working for the Town of Wilmington, will begin the installation of a new 12-inch cement lined ductile iron water main that starts at the Park Street/Woburn Street area (where the Town is completing its project) and crosses over the I-93 overpass to the west side of the bridge. The I-93 bridge crossing  portion of the work will occur during the over night hours.  Once connected, this continuous line of new pipe will mark the final stage of water main replacement to be completed in this immediate vicinity.  Updates will be posted as necessary. It is anticipated that the project will be completed prior to Thanksgiving. As always, please follow the directives of the police officers and any traffic advisory signs that may be in place.

Starting the week of Monday, August 5, 2019, the Department of Public Works will begin installing approximately 750’ of new 12-inch cement lined ductile iron water main in Woburn Street, starting at #182 Woburn Street and ending near the intersection of Park Street. (See attached aerial view). The new water main will replace an existing 10” cast iron water main that was built in the 1950s. This upgrade will also include the installation of two new fire hydrants in the area.

While the excavating will not begin until the week of August 5, please be aware that there will be some preparation work (saw cutting the road, setting up pipe etc.) completed during the week of July 29 – August 2.

We anticipate completing the project in approximately 4 weeks.  Working days are Monday – Friday, starting at approximately 8:00 AM and ending by 3:00 PM.

During this project, you may temporarily experience discolored water and/or low water pressure. You will be notified by Water Division personnel if your water service will be temporarily interrupted. We will try to limit disrupting traffic as much as possible. Please refrain from parking vehicles on the road during construction.

Please feel free to talk to our crew directly or call the Department of Public Works if you have any special circumstances and we will try to accommodate you if possible.

Although unlikely, please be aware that your water service could be unexpectedly disrupted. We suggest you keep a gallon of water in the refrigerator during this project in case problems were to occur.

Please be advised that a private contractor will be in Town later this year to complete  the infrastructure improvements by installing a new 12” water main across the I-93 overpass bridge. You will receive additional notification prior to the start of that project.
