In FY2016 at an average cost of $12K-13K per incident, due to contractual elements and cost of materials we have seen that increase to an average of $14,500.00.
Over the past six years the department completed approximately $45,000,000.00 in Capital Improvement Projects ranging from complete replacement to Cleaning and Lining of sewer, water and drainage related infrastructure. Including:
East Broadway Beacon Street Webster Avenue Somerville Avenue Middlesex Avenue
There are two current projects:
Cedar Street from Highland Ave to Elm St. and the Nunziato Field storm water and drainage projects.
Our 15 Year Capital Improvement Plan calls for approximately $36M for water infrastructure projects and approx. $65M in sewer infrastructure improvements. The sewer CIP will be firmly established after assessments that will be conducted in Spring 2017.
Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.
