Boston Water, Sewer to Discuss Impacts of Centre St. Water Main Replacement

The Boston Water and Sewer Commission on Wednesday plans to present information about an upcoming Centre Street Water Main Replacement Project. 

At the meeting, officials will discuss the construction, which is planned in the area of Centre Street from Sheridan to Wise Street. The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Hennigan Community Center, 200 Heath St. in Jamaica Plain. 

The replacement of the water main system is part of the BSWC's capital improvement plan, and officials said the replacement of the main will improve the overall system. 

BWSC staff plan to present information on the project, including construction activities and sequencing, as well as measures to be taken to minimize impacts to the community, the BWSC said in an email announcement. 

The project is expected to impact water service interruption, noise, traffic and parking modifications, dust and general construction impacts, officials said. The work will occur within a few intersections, resulting in water main impacts on intersecting sideline streets about one block out.
