SEWER WORKS ISSUES

High I & I Rates Replacement of Beaver Street Interceptor

Cost = $15 20 million Increase Cost Of Treatment Plant Operations Due

To High Flow and Plant Improvements

SEWER I & I

Inflow and Infiltration Occurs When Stormwater and Groundwater Enters the Sanitary Sewer System

Increases the Unnecessary Treatment of Groundwater

IMPLEMENTATION

Lining and Sealing Program Lined 32+ Miles of Pipe Sealed 600+ Manholes 60+ Inflow Sources Identified and

Removed Repaired Beaver Street Interceptor Improved SCADA System More effective management

BEAVER STREET INTERCEPTOR

Location: Beaver St to Pond St Carries 70% of Towns Sewage On Average, 1.8 Million

Gallons Per Day Travel Through Pipeline

IMPLEMENTATION

Public Education Water Conservation

Program Repair Distribution System New Waterline / New Road

Program Leak Detection Program Meter Replacement and

Calibration Program

IMPLEMENTATION

Conducted Annual Leak Detection Program Exceed Permitted Standards of Once Every Three Years Since 2001, over 750 Leaks Have Been Detected and

Repaired Tighter System, Reduction in Unaccounted-For Water,

Improved System Management = Reduces Pumping & Treatment

RESULTS

Water Main Replacement Program Underway Goal: Replace Entire System Within 80 Years

NEW TREATMENT PLANT FOR WELLS 3 & 6

NEW GROWTH 800 UNITS APPROVED, PLANNED & PROPOSED

NEW GROWTH 800 UNITS APPROVED, PLANNED & PROPOSED

Potential new demand for residential growth on water system would be 176,000 gallons per day.

Unknown new demands and expansion of desirable industrial, commercial and other non- residential ventures.

Increase wear and tear on drinking water and sewer systems.

Attempts to modify the existing MassDEP groundwater withdrawal permit would be time consuming, expensive, and may not produce the desired results.
