Waterville Downtown Project

Information Gathering (7/3/2019)

  • Wright-Pierce, a Maine based engineering firm, has been hired by KWD to develop the design for the downtown Waterville water main replacement project. Engineers and other staff from Wright-Pierce are currently gathering information from the City of Waterville, property owners, and other utilities – sewer, gas, electric, phone, about infrastructure in the street and other existing conditions. Wright-Pierce will also be using ground penetrating radar and test borings to identify other buried obstacles that need to be considered when designing this important project. At the Open House held on June 27, 2019, Wright-Pierce and KWD staff met with property owners with property along the project route, to gather contact information so plumbing inspections in basements could be conducted. If you were unable to attend the Open House, and you own property along the project route, please send your contact information to kennebecwater@kennebecwater.org or by calling Dustin Lacombe with Wright-Pierce at 207-798-3716. An informational flyer was handed out at the Open House and can be found below.
