Plymouth’s Department of Public Works (“DPW”) seeks to notify residents and visitors of an update on the sewer system replacement project on Water Street.

Town officials were notified of settlement, in the vicinity of the project, on the morning of March 7, 2023. Based on that information, Town officials, the project contractor, and engineering consultants are investigating potential impacts in the area and have addressed areas of immediate concern.

A new temporary detour pattern is in effect starting on Tuesday, March 7, 2023. Water Street from the Rotary to Brewster Street will be temporarily closed. Currently, Chilton Street has local access only.

During construction, please expect to be inconvenienced by traffic delays, detours, uneven/settling trenches, parking restrictions, and elevated noise levels. Please follow the detour signs that are installed along the project area. Traffic detours will be modified as construction progresses towards the State Pier.

The Town and the Contractor will make every effort possible to minimize disturbances to residents, businesses, pedestrians, and motorists in the Water Street area throughout the duration of this project.

The Town appreciates the community’s patience and support during this important sewer system improvement project. Questions regarding this update may be directed to the Town Manager’s Office during normal business hours.
