Shrewsbury, Mass., expands sewer inspections and cleaning efforts
(UI) — Sewer system inspections and maintenance are underway in Shrewsbury as part of the town’s effort to reduce groundwater infiltration and improve wastewater infrastructure.
Weston & Sampson, the town’s wastewater consultants, are conducting manhole inspections, while National Water Main Cleaning Company (NWMCC) is performing sewer cleaning and CCTV inspections in Subarea 9D. The work is expected to continue through April, with additional nighttime flow isolation studies planned later this spring.
Work Areas:
- Manhole Inspections: Municipal Drive, Old Brook Road, Maple Avenue, Grafton Street, Lake Street, Westport Circle, Westmont Circle, Colton Lane, Beaver Drive, Westwood Road, Churchill Road, Surrey Lane, Linwood Road, Edgewood Road, Woodland Road, Willow Street, Laurel Avenue, Arnold Road, and Estabrook Road.
- Sewer Cleaning & CCTV Inspections: Hutchins Street, Orchard Road, Fiske Street, Crescent Street, Shady Lane Avenue, Saint James Road, and Hapgood Way.
These inspections are part of Shrewsbury’s 2025 Infiltration Investigations Project, which aims to identify and remove excess groundwater from the sewer system. Reducing infiltration helps lower wastewater treatment costs and ensures the system functions efficiently.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed through daily street updates. The town appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation.
