School Street Area Utilities Improvement Project
The School Street Area Reconstruction project includes water, sewer, and drainage infrastructure improvements and the full-depth reconstruction of roadways and sidewalks along Garfield, Kossuth, School, and Union Streets (including former Garfield Ct). The existing water mains in this area are comprised of 4-inch and 6-inch cast iron (CI) pipe that have insufficient capacity for fire flows and were identified in the 2015 Water System Asset Management Plan as a high priority for replacement. The sewer mains are 8-inch and 10-inch vitrified clay pipe (VCP) in poor condition and the drainage system has been identified as being in poor condition with the potential for flooding. As part of the project, the roads and sidewalks in the neighborhood will be upgraded to comply with current accessibility standards.
Status Updates
3/24/2025: A Neighborhood Input Meeting has been scheduled for the School Street Area Improvement Project. The Town of Exeter, along with CMA will present an overview of the proposed project, which includes municipal infrastructure improvements in the School Street area. Planned improvements include upgrades to water, sewer, stormwater drainage, roadways, and sidewalks. (See figure below for project area.)
The purpose of this meeting is to gather public input, ideas, and concerns regarding the proposed improvements. Feedback collected will help inform the development of design alternatives, which will be shared at a future public meeting.
