Main Street Water Line and Tank Replacement Project

​

Contractors for the Town of Northfield will undertaking two important infrastructure projects in Town starting within the next few weeks. The first project is the replacement of the water main line from the intersection of Main Street and Central Street to the intersection of Main Street and Parsons Lane, and the water line up Prospect Street to Cheney Field via Byam Hill. The second project includes replacing two 250,000-gallon reservoirs with one 500,000-gallon reservoir on the Cheney Farm.

Over the next two weeks, the water line contractor will be in Northfield installing project signs and project survey markers. The third or fourth of April the contractor will begin saw cutting the pavement along Main Street. Road excavation and trenching of Main Street is scheduled to begin the last week of April or first week of May. The contractor states that there will be no road closures during the entire project. Traffic will be restricted to single lane with flaggers with some traffic delays to accommodate trucks and equipment.

Work on the water tank project is tentatively scheduled to being in early to mid-May. The staging area for the tank replacement will be on the Cheney Farm property. Please note that during the tank project there will be cement and other trucks using Elm Street, Prospect Street, Highland Ave., Byam, and Hill Street to access the project.

Please note that project schedules are subject to change. In addition, we will be providing weekly project updates on FPF, the Town web-site and Town Facebook page.

Thank you.
