Site work for a water / sewer project in Framingham, Massachusetts. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

Upgrading 5,000 feet of existing 6-inch cast iron and 8-inch asbestos-cement water main on Pleasant Street and Temple Street with new 12 cement-lined ductile iron main will improve flow capacity and substantially increase reliability of the water system. This request is for construction on Pleasant St. from just west of Belknap Rd. to Vernon St. and on Temple St. from Pleasant St. to the I-90. The project will also include new connections to side streets, valves, hydrants, and copper services to each customers property line. The existing water mains are more than 7 decades old. The 8-inch main on Pleasant Street is beneath the curb and difficult to access for repairs. The 6-inch diameter cast iron main on Temple Street is unlined, which has led to interior tuberculation and corrosion causing decreased capacity. The construction is proposed to be combined with construction to replace sewers in the area, resulting in lower construction costs and much less disruption to the neighborhood and commuters in this busy corridor than if the projects were to be undertaken separately.
