The Town of Blue Hill is notifying abutters and residents regarding an upcoming construction project at the Town’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) off of Water Street. The project also includes work at the Main Street Pump Station and Route 176 Pump Station. The Town has retained Apex Construction to complete the work for the project, and they are scheduled to mobilize on or around the week of April 13 and will be working at the WWTP first.
The improvement work at the WWTP will have minimal impact on the public; however, increased truck traffic and additional noise should be expected during construction. This project will involve improvements to the plant’s headworks, chlorine contact tank, chemical feed system and upgrades related to climate change and to improve the plant’s ability to convey treated effluent into the ocean during elevated tides. At the Main Street Pump Station there will be upgrades to the pump station’s electrical service entrance, installation of a new emergency stand-by generator and fencing. At the Route 176 pump station, there will also be upgrades to the pumps, controls panels, a new generator and new fencing. When it gets closer to the expected work at the pump stations, further notification is planned, including the expected starting times.
The Town has retained Olver Associates Inc. to provide an onsite representative during the work who will be Jordan Hafford. If you have any concerns during construction, Jordan can be reached at 478-5190, or feel free to call Annaleis Hafford at 223-2232 if you have any questions regarding the construction.
Thank you in advance for your patience as the Town completes this work.
