  • What: phase one lines about 2,700 feet of the Sword Street force main (five access pits) through the historic area of most breaks.
  • Status (Aug 20): six bids; low bid just over $2.4 million against an engineer's estimate near $3.3 million; engineer reviewing. Work may start with valves this fall and the main work in spring.
  • Open: the town meeting funding covers Sword Street and Goddard Drive; staff may prioritize Goddard Drive over phase two.
