Press release from Town of Arlington:

06/07/2021

The Town of Arlington will be completing Water Main Rehabilitation Projects in various locations throughout Town during the 2021 construction season.  These projects will replace water mains that have reached the end of their useful life and will improve water distribution system reliability.  Work is anticipated to be completed in two phases as detailed below.

Phase 1

Phase 1 of the 2021 Water Rehabilitation Project has been contracted to GTA Co., Inc. (GTA), and will occur on the following roadways: 

• Blossom Street (Park Avenue Extension to Sunset Road)
• Brattle Street (Hemlock Road to Woodside Lane)
• Newland Road (Bow Street to Summer Street)
• Oakledge Street

Work will begin in June and is expected to be completed by the end of summer.  For additional Phase 1 project details, answers to some frequently asked questions, and construction updates, please reference the construction notice and project updates notice. 

Phase 2

Phase 2 of the 2021 Water Rehabilitation Project is under development and is planned for the Sunnyside Avenue neighborhood.  Work is expected to be completed on Sunnyside Avenue, Memorial Way, and portions of Broadway and Gardner Street.  Project scope may be adjusted prior to project bidding and an updated street listing will be provided once finalized.  Bidding is expected to take place in July to allow for late summer/early fall start to construction.  Work is expected to continue through the end of the 2021 construction season.  This project is being completed in response to water main breaks in the neighborhood and is being designed to avoid impacts to newly installed sidewalks.
