An 18-month project that will replace the sewer pumping station at Pemberton began this week. According to the sewer department, D & C Construction Inc. of Weymouth has started work on Pump Station No. 9 in the parking lot across Main Street from Hull High School. A staging area is being set up in the parking lot and by Monday, June 17, the company is expected to fence off most of the parking lot to the first exit.

Construction work on the $2 million, federally funded project is expected to take place between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays. Ferry parking and pedestrian routes will be affected. Commuters are asked to park along Main Street near the Hull Lifesaving Museum Boathouse; signage will direct cars and pedestrians around the construction area. At some point during the next year and a half, crews may need to perform work within the boundaries of Main Street.

Anyone with questions about the project or the detours can call the sewer department, 781-925-1207, or email sewer@town.hull.ma.us.
