Spring Hill Sewer Separation Virtual Community Meeting, November 9

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne and Ward 3 Councilor Ben Ewen-Campen invite you to a virtual community meeting to learn about construction progress on the Spring Hill Sewer Separation project. 

Somerville’s Spring Hill neighborhood is currently served by a combined sewer system, which collects both wastewater and stormwater runoff in the same pipes. Through the Sewer Separation project, the City is working to upgrade these systems by installing new storm drains that separate stormwater from the existing combined sewer. This project is one in a series of actions the City is undertaking to reduce water pollution, mitigate flooding, and ultimately modernize Somerville’s infrastructure. Construction began earlier this year and is expected to continue through 2024.

At this meeting, City staff will review progress made to date and present an overview of the work planned for the early 2023 construction season. Residents will then have the opportunity to ask questions about the project and construction process. 

The meeting will take place Wednesday, November 9, at 6 p.m. Visit somervillema.gov/springhill to register to attend.
