CHARLTON WATERLINE: COVID-19 UPDATE

May 15th, 2020

TOWN OF CHARLTON, MASS. – ExxonMobil, with alignment from the Town of Charlton and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, will resume planned roadway paving work on Monday, May 18, 2020, while maintaining safety protocols to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.

The crews will start to prepare to pave by lowering castings and grinding the road on the Charlton Middle School access road and the connector road. Learn more about the construction work on the Traffic Updates page.

The next phase of the Charlton Waterline work – waterline activation, installation of plumbing, and private well abandonments – will require regular interactions between our neighbors and work crews.

ExxonMobil will discuss appropriate next steps with the Town and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection as the virus recedes, with the goal of connecting neighbors to the Charlton Waterline as soon as safely possible.

Please email any questions about the Charlton Waterline to charltoninfo@exxonmobil.com.

Learn more about the new waterline

ExxonMobil is installing, at its own expense, a waterline to help resolve groundwater contamination problems in the Town of Charlton.

According to an Agreement in Principle reached in April 2016 with the Town, the pipeline will bring public water along an approximate six-mile route. ExxonMobil is working under the supervision of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP). We will continue to monitor area groundwater prior to, during and after installation of the waterline, as directed by MADEP.

We encourage members of the community to use this website to learn more about the project background, progress of the waterline and for updates on community activities, including construction-related traffic impacts. Contact us with any questions at charltoninfo@exxonmobil.com.
