Overnight Water Infrastructure Work Scheduled For Framingham This Week

FRAMINGHAM, MA — Waverly Street will see overnight water infrastructure work this week, Department of Public Works officials said.

The work will take place today and Wednesday from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Waverly Street just west of Second Street.

During this time, crews from Russo Corporation will replace a broken valve discovered during recent work on Second Street and install an additional valve to help minimize the need for future water shutdowns in the area, officials said.

Water service will be temporarily shut off beginning at 10 p.m. each night for customers located between Second Street and Willis Street. This later start allows nearby businesses to complete their evening operations before the outage, officials said.

Water off notices were hand-delivered on Monday to all affected residents and businesses.

"No Parking" signs will also be posted on Waverly Street in the work zone for the duration of the overnight work hours, officials said.

This work is being completed while crews await testing results for the new water main on Centennial Place.
