CENTRAL STREET CORRIDOR WATER AND SEWER REHABILITATION AND REPLACEMENT CONSTRUCTION PROJECT PUBLIC MEETING, MARCH 19, 2026 Project Need: The existing water mains are 50-120 years of age and are beyond the end of their useful life. Replacement is needed to ensure adequate and reliable fire protection and domestic supply. The sewer pipes are 80-90 years old, undersized, susceptible to high infitration rates and frequently experience blockages.

Work hours 7am-5pm Monday through Friday

Construction schedule for central street: April 2026 through November 2026; start back up April 2027 and end in November 2027

Other central street area projects also alluded to include roadway, sidewalk, ADA improvements, and access to Simpson Park.

Got to hear about the upcoming @framinghamma.bsky.social Central Street Water/Sewer project - they’ll be looking to fix sidewalks, street crossings, and access to Simpson Park (and the Sudbury River) at the end of this important and needed infrastructure upgrade. Some pipes are 100+ years old!

Looks like the National Weather Service still has Framingham in its 20” snow zone 😮

Still expecting 2-3" per hour snowfall rates, roughly between 5-11 AM this morning across RI and southeast MA. after that time, still looking at snowfall rates of 1-2" per hour into this afternoon, which should still accumulate quickly. Noted some lightning well offshore, indicative of the rapid strengthening the low pressure was undergoing. Not ruling out the possibility of thundersnow, but not going to mention it in the forecast. Snowfall tapers off from west to east this afternoon into this evening. The significantly accumulating snowfall should be off the coast by about 7 PM, although some lighter snow could linger as late as about 10 PM. Impacts: We can`t stress this enough, but this storm will likely bring extreme to destructive impacts south and east of the I-95 corridor, especially SE MA and Cape Cod due to the combination of heavy wet snow and damaging wind gusts. Heavy wet snowfall amounts up to 2 ft with damaging winds presents a serious concern for tree damage and power outages. Temperatures across SE MA will be around 32F during the brunt of the heavy snow, then will begin to fall into the 20s during this afternoon. Farther north and west into central and NE MA and western MA/CT, temperatures will be in the 20s for this entire event so the snow will be of a drier consistency, which will help to mitigate these impacts somewhat. These areas could still see some power outages but on a much lesser scale than what is experienced south and east of I-95. In terms of travel, it will be near impossible during the period of heaviest snow this morning with the heavy snowfall rates and whiteouts and as such travel is highly discouraged.
