The objective of the CIP is to identify and rehabilitate infrastructure defects, including underdrain connections, which contribute infiltration and inflow (I/I) to the sanitary sewer system. A list of CIP projects arranged by priority can be found here, and a City map of projects can be found here. Prioritization was based on flow monitoring results, underdrain locations, pipe material and age, and operation and maintenance problem areas. The program was developed by evaluating city-wide collection system data and prioritizing the areas for evaluation and rehabilitation.

Through annual inflow and infiltration improvements, the Sewer Division improves the flow of wastewater, reduces MWRA rate increases, and prevents harm to the environment.Ĭurrently, the City of Newton is in the seventh phase of an 11-year Sewer Capital Improvement Program (CIP) intended to update the City’s wastewater collection system. To achieve this goal, the Sewer Division ensures that the infrastructure is properly maintained and replaced. The sewer system transports wastewater out of the city and into Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (MWRA) treatment plants. The goal of the Sewer Division is to provide a safe and efficient sewer system throughout the City of Newton. By integrating all three sets of criteria, the infrastructure improvement decision making process and overall capital efficiency are optimized. The criteria used in the evaluation consisted of System Hydraulics, Critical Component Assessment, and Asset Management Considerations. The purpose of the CEP was to identify areas of the water distribution system in need of rehabilitation, repair, or replacement and to prioritize improvements to make the most efficient use of the City’s capital budget. In August 2021, the City completed a Capital Efficiency Plan (CEP) for the Newton Water system.

To accomplish this, the Department ensures that all water lines have been properly maintained and replaced when necessary, all leaks are found and dealt with quickly, and most importantly, no harmful chemicals such as lead are able to infiltrate the water system. The water is clean and safe and is delivered efficiently. The goal of the Water Division is to provide top tier water delivery to city residents, institutions, and commercial properties. The Utilities Division is responsible for the City's water, sewer, and drainage infrastructure.
