Overnight sewer and storm drain cleaning begins near Union Square

City contractors begin overnight sewer and storm drain cleaning Sunday night, working roughly 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. through Friday, Aug. 14, as part of the city's Annual Sewer and Storm Drain Inspection Program. Crews will briefly open manholes to clean and video-inspect lines on stretches of Washington Street, Webster Avenue, Somerville Avenue, Broadway, Elm Street and Holland Street; no roadway excavation is required, and work in any one location is expected to take no more than one or two nights. Residents should expect moderately elevated noise, lights from construction vehicles and some temporary on-street parking impacts, with schedules subject to change due to weather.
