EAST BRIDGEWATER — The East Bridgewater Board of Selectmen is pleased to announce that several businesses in town will soon be hooked into the town’s sewer lines, serving to further expand the commercial opportunities in the town.
At their Monday, Dec. 6 meeting, the Board of Selectmen approved the application for sewer connection for the businesses at the Carriage Crossing Shopping Center on Bedford Street/Route 18. The businesses will now be connected to the town’s wastewater treatment facility.
“This is a big win for the Town of East Bridgewater and another step in the right direction as we look to expand our system and also allow for commercial growth in the area,” said Selectman Peter Spagone, Jr. ”We are always looking for ways to work together with the business community, and are pleased we were able to approve this application quickly and efficiently.”
The wastewater treatment facility previously only served the East Bridgewater Fire Station, East Bridgewater High School, Central Elementary School and the Bedford Street CVS. In December 2020, the Town approved applications to connect Dewhurst Lumber at 215 Bedford St. and Subway at 203 Bedford St., marking the first two local businesses to hook into the system.
This latest approval will connect the 12 businesses in the Carriage Crossing Shopping Center to the town’s sewer lines, including several local businesses as well as larger businesses such as Ocean State Job Lot, Domino’s and Anytime Fitness.
Property owner Anthony DiLetizia worked closely with town officials during the application process and is excited about moving forward.
“Peter Spagone, [Department of Public Works Director] John Haines and everyone in town was just phenomenal to work with and made this entire process so easy,” DiLetizia said. “This will be a positive improvement for the site, for our tenants and for the business community in town as a whole.”
DiLetizia said hooking into the town’s sewer lines will also be beneficial to any future development at the site.
Work to connect the businesses to town sewer should start this winter, and be completed before spring.
The Town of East Bridgewater worked for several years to start connecting businesses in town to the municipal sewer lines. The process of connecting local businesses to the town’s sewer lines is overseen by the town’s Wastewater Treatment Advisory Board, which includes Director Haines, Planning Board Director Roy Gardner and Board of Health Chair Rob Lyons.
