Crews will work to relocate water line on Ferguson Avenue, Lyman Avenue, and Morse Place over the next several weeks.

Crews will continue installing stormwater infrastructure between Flynn and Home Avenues. This work will include installing the mainline along Briggs Street and Batchelder Street and the connections to the side streets such as Ferguson Avenue, Lyman Avenue, and Morse Place. Work along Briggs Street will take place outside of the roadway.
