Overview: The Norton Water Sewer Commission recently held a meeting to discuss the Elm Street sewer extension and water main improvements, a project with a budgeted cost of between $7.3 and $8.4 million. The commission announced the postponement of the project’s article in the upcoming town meeting until fall due to the need for additional information regarding potential developments on Elm Street. The project, expected to start construction in November 2024 with an estimated completion in May 2026, is partially funded by a MassWorks design grant and an economic development build grant, with $3.5 million already secured. The remainder will be financed through betterment assessments on affected properties and the Title 5 Loan program, which assists homeowners with septic system repairs or new sewer connections.
