LEWISTON – The city of Lewiston will work on the distribution main supplying water to the Webber Avenue Reservoir and to the Central Avenue Pump Station. The main will be cleaned and lined on Main Street and on Sabattus to Franklin streets during September and October.

Richard Burnham, Lewiston’s city engineer, said “Our ‘clean and line’ rehabilitation will be done to ensure that the system continues its ability to provide adequate water and fire protection to the users.”

The work will be continuous once the project begins, and temporary bypass piping will be installed on top of the ground to provide ongoing water service during the duration of the clean/line process. Abutting property owners will be notified of the project before it starts.

Water service interruption is not anticipated, except for possible short durations, and property owners will be notified of any scheduled shutdowns.
