FY26 Water Main Improvements The water distribution system in Somerville was predominantly developed between the late 1800s and mid 1900s, with varied quality of pipe used between different time periods within that span. Through a comprehensive water distribution system study performed in 2020, the City has been performing recurring rehabilitations and replacements of the system in most-critical areas. Due to the impending McGrath Boulevard project by MassDOT, the City has pushed McGrath Highway corridor rehabilitations to the top of our prioritization. Design and construction of yearly rehabilitation to the water distribution systems, including but not limited to: water mains, hydrants, and shut-off valves. Design services will prioritize deficiencies found in the water system based on consequence and likelihood of failure. Design services will include engineering services during construction. Improvements include rehabilitation of existing pipes by clean and lining, installation of additional shut-off valves, and installation of new pipe as necessary. IAM - Engineering This project is a preceding activity to the MassDOT McGrath Boulevard project. While these projects do not directly rely on one another, the Engineering Division is focusing on a "build once" model for the McGrath corridor. Fixing water distribution system features will support this approach. Necessary New Project First
