Chester Brook Drain Replacement Project

Project Update 11/27/2023

The 36” diameter drain pipe and headwall have been installed and have been connected to the city stormwater system. The new trees and shrubs have been planted and the disturbed areas have been hydroseeded.

Project Description:

This project will consist of removing approximately 270 linear feet of existing 15 inch diameter drain pipe and a drain manhole and replacing it with a new 36 inch diameter drain pipe and manhole. A concrete headwall will be installed at the pipe end. In order to complete the drainage work clearing and grubbing of existing vegetation is required and 25 existing trees will be removed. 46 new trees and 28 new shrubs will be planted and all disturbed areas will be covered with loam and seed. The city of Waltham has awarded this project to K. R. Rezendes, Inc of Assonet, MA.  It is anticipated that construction will begin the week of September 18-22, 2023.

Trash and Recycling pick-up will be held on their normally scheduled days.  There may be times where pick up times will be 7:00am to avoid conflict with construction crews.  Please have trash and recycling out to the curb by 7:00am at the latest on collection days to ensure pick-up.
