Requesting the acceptance of the First Amendment to the Sanitary Sewer Easement Agreement with the City of Cambridge for work in Medford Street.

Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

 

In 2017, the Board of Aldermen granted an easement in Medford Street to the City of Cambridge so that it could construct a new sewer main to tie into the MWRA Warren Street sewer interceptor. During construction, other utilities, including gas lines, were discovered in the easement area. Accordingly, the new main was rerouted around the existing utilities. The First Amendment to Sanitary Sewer Easement Agreement corrects the original easement to show the as-built location of the main.

 

The Engineering Department has reviewed the new easement location and has determined that it will not interfere with City operations.

 

At this time, I request your Honorable Council’s approval of this easement agreement.

 

My staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
