A water main replacement on Savin Hill Avenue could cause low water pressure on some streets in the area over the bridge through Aug. 16, according to Boston Water and Sewer Commission (BWSC).

“As part of this work, a portion of the high service water distribution system that feeds a portion of Savin Hill was temporarily disconnected. Residents on Grampian Way, Caspian Way, Castlerock Street, and Rockmere Street may experience slightly lower water pressures than normal as a result of this work,” read a letter from BWSC provided to The Reporter.

Contractor Fed Corp. Construction has been working this summer to upgrade and improve the water main infrastructure along Savin Hill Avenue, and even with the disconnection, the current capacity and pressure has been confirmed via field tests to be adequate for domestic use and fire protection.

However, that pressure “may be noticeably lower than what residents commonly experience.”

Normal water service is expected to return on Friday, Aug. 16, though a short water interruption will be necessary to put the system back together.
If there are any questions, concerns, or special needs regarding this work, BWSC advises to contact Jeremiah Waite, Project Engineer, at 617-989-7453.
