Renovation of a water / sewer project in Andover, Massachusetts. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

UPDATE : This project would encompass the rehabilitation of the Shawsheen Village Pumping Station, and include the full replacement of all four pumps, motors, check valves, isolation valves, and associated piping (not including the header pipe). Isolation valves will be added to the header pipe to allow for flexibility in isolating segments of the array for future repairs. Additionally, electrical upgrades would be made, consisting of a full replacement of the MCCs and local equipment, VFDs, and the standby generator. The new generator would be located outside of the building and would be procured with its own above-ground fuel storage tank. Other miscellaneous upgrades for this pumping station include: • Retrofit of existing odor-scrubber; • Removal of underground storage tank; • Energy efficiency lighting upgrades; • Rehabilitation of restroom facilities; • Installing removable railings at loading dock/stairway; • Minor concrete repairs, and application of masonry sealant; • HVAC upgrades to improve heat removal from building; Project is in Town of Andover capital budget fy 2026-2030 CIP __________________________________________________________________________ UPDATE:https://andoverma.gov/DocumentCenter/View/13676/Town-Managers-Recommended-Capital-Improvement-Program-FY2025---FY2029 The Shawsheen Village Sewer Pumping Station serves at the Town’s most critical sewer pumping station, as the majority of the Town’s wastewater flow is conveyed through this site. Constructed in 1985, the pumping station has operated nearly 24/7, conveying wastewater to the GLSD. The four pumps operate with one “lead pump” to maintain a constant wetwell level, and two “lag” pumps, which operate during periods of high flow. The fourth pump serves as a backup. Current SOP includes rotating the lead pump in order to avoid overburdening a single pump. Over the past two years, several pumps have had major failures resulting in downtime and the need for major repairs. This project is being proposed as an acknowledgement that failure of critical components will become more frequent as the pumping station continues to age.
