City-Wide Wastewater System Improvements
Editor: David Mills
ROCKLAND, ME - The City of Rockland will soon be re-starting work on Wastewater System lines in various parts of the City. To see the locations of these projects, click on the aerial map below.
Tentative schedule for the projects as of April 20th.

April 30-May 4Complete work on Limerock Street east of Union Street on Limerock Street. Limerock Street west of Custom House Place will be closed.
April 30-May 14Cross-country work will begin between Grace Street and Park Street. Travel along Grace Street will be limited to local traffic only, and there will be lane closures on Park Street.
May 9-June 1Work on Limerock Street will move west of Union Street. Travel along Limerock Street between Union and High streets will be limited to local traffic only, and no traffic will be allowed to turn onto Limerock Street from Union Street. Road closures will be adjusted as excavation progresses.
May 18Limerock Street east of Union Street will re-open.
June 1-June 15Work moves to Claremont Street. Claremont Street will be closed to through traffic and Limerock Street west of Union Street will re-open.
June 18-June 22Work moves to Masonic Street. Masonic Street will be closed to through traffic and Claremont Street will re-open.

Some additional closures will be necessary for street restoration (paving). Every effort will be made to notify the public of these closures.


The remaining manhole restorations will be done as crews are available and have not been specifically scheduled.


Improvements to the Wastewater System include the installation or replacement of sewer infrastructure (pipe, manholes and services) at sites throughout the City. Construction will require the open excavation of several streets. The contractor will make every effort to limit disturbance to adjacent properties during construction, and any area disturbed during construction will be restored to pre-construction conditions.


As part of construction, it may be necessary to temporarily limit access to driveways in certain project areas. Every attempt will be made to notify residents in advance of work that would limit access to property. The City requests that during these periods, arrangements be made to park vehicles outside the construction area if access to vehicles is needed.


Work is scheduled to be completed by the end of June.
