In an effort to help residents of Cohasset and especially those of the Little Harbor area, the Cohasset Water Department has prepared and will periodically update this web page to educate and inform those impacted by the planned water improvement work.
Impacts will likely include periodic disruption of water service and vehicle traffic. The Water Department currently distributes notices of scheduled water shut downs providing customers with 2 day notification. We also use the Town’s Reverse 911 calling system to remind users of the shut down the night before the work. These shut downs are needed to connect the new work to the existing water system.
The following table lists the streets in which water, sewer and drain work is planned. The table outlines the ongoing work and the scheduled water improvement work. Typical water improvements follows a construction sequence of (Step 1) connecting customers to temporary bypass during construction, (Step 2) installing the water main down the roadway, and (Step 3) connecting customers to the newly installed and tested water mains.
The Water Department will periodically host a neighborhood meeting before the construction starts on a narrow street. The goal of these meetings is to inform the impacted resident of the construction impacts with the goal of reducing the day to day impacts.
If you have any questions contact the Water Department at (781)383-0057.
