Water System Improvement Project Starting, June 21st
The Town of Weymouth Department of Public Works Water and Sewer Division would like to notify residents and commuters of a pending construction project in Weymouth streets. Water System Improvements Project No. W-10-1 is currently scheduled to begin on June 21 and is expected to be ongoing until approximately November 15, 2010.
The work will involve replacement of water mains and water services in Middle Street (between Washington and Hanover Streets), Main Street (Hunter Terrace to Front Street), and Highland Place. Additional replacement of water services and some mains and hydrants will be performed in Main Street between Gas Light Drive and the MBTA Commuter Rail overpass. Totals include approximately one mile of new mains, 1,300 feet of new copper service lines, and 10 new hydrants. The affected sections of Main and Middle Streets are then scheduled to be completely reconstructed under separate MassDOT projects some time after completion of the water system work.
For further information or any concerns or questions, please contact DPW Water and Sewer Superintendent Michael Chiasson at 781-337-5100, x-313, or mchiasson@weymouth.ma.us. Plans are also available for viewing at the Department of Public Works Engineering Division, 2nd floor of the DPW building at 120 Winter Street

ATTENTION WEYMOUTH RESIDENTS
In order to be consistent and better informed, Mayor Susan Kay is instituting a new “Special Event Request” form and inter-departmental procedure.
If you are planning a block party, road race or an event in one of our public parks, you will now be required to fill out a Special Event Request form. Certain department heads, such as the Police & Fire Chiefs, will be asked to sign off their approval and knowledge of such an event. The Mayor’s Office staff will provide a completed, signed copy of the form to the individual making the request prior to their event and will also keep a copy on file.
It is recommended that a request be made well in advance of an event to allow for proper notification to all appropriate departments.
In the past, written permission for some events was required and a permit was issued through the Mayor’s Office. This new procedure and Special Event Request form will replace the old procedure and will hopefully keep all essential departments informed of events within our community.
Please contact the Mayor’s Office at 781-340-5012 for the Special Event Request form or for more information. These forms are also available on our website at: www.weymouth.ma.us under documents and forms and also on the Mayor’s Office page.
Please Note: Mike Doyle of our Recreation Department will continue issuing all field permits.
