What is the schedule for the Sump Pump Amnesty Program?
The City is currently undertaking an assessment of the sump pump connections within the City of Waltham. A permanent solution for correcting these connections will be developed on a cluster or neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis, and it is intended that construction contracts will be prepared, publicly bid and awarded. The preferred method for correcting a sump pump discharge is to an on-site infiltration system as shown in Sump Pump Correctly Discharging to On-site Infiltration Basin (Option A) or, if this is unsuitable, to a storm drain or swale as shown in Sump Pump Correctly Discharging to Storm Drain (Option B). Construction will likely be phased over a three year period.
