Work in preparation for the UV pilot program is ongoing and will continue the week of May 26th.

The following work is planned:

• Installation of weir plates in culvert and completion of final connections between pumps and UV unit
• Full scale startup and commissioning of UV Pilot projected to begin on Wednesday, May 28th and last through Friday, May 30th
• Preliminary sampling to begin on Friday, May 30th 

During all times that contractors are working in the roadway, police detailing will be requested and traffic control signage will be employed to minimize disruption to traffic throughout the area. At various times, temporary detours will be required to facilitate the work. All construction activity will occur between the hours of 9:00am and 4:00pm.

The Town of Swampscott has installed two air quality sensors in abutting areas of the generator to measure baseline and post-project air quality measurements. The air quality sensors are currently being used to record current conditions on particulate concentrations (ppm) that will provide background information on air quality. The sensors will record data throughout the pilot program.

The City and Town are committed to proactively responding to public concerns throughout the pilot as they arise. Residents with inquiries, comments, or concerns centering the UV Pilot Program can contact UVPilot@lynnma.gov (includes the Mayor’s Office, the Town Administrator’s Office, and Swampscott DPW).
