The project will include the installation and replacement of approximately 31,886 linear feet of 8, 10, and 12- inch water main (the “project”). These improvements will take place along portions of Boston State Road (County Road 227), Back Creek Road (County Road 438), Boston Colden Road (County Road 222), Cole Road (CR 442), Old Orchard Drive, and Lango Road to serve residential properties and commercial properties. Additionally, a new water main will be installed along Cole Road and Boston Colden Road to provide a second water source for the Town water system.
