Title, Order
Authorizing the City Manager to Sign A Storm Sewer Easement to Access Property at 1570 Hammond Street.
This order will authorize the City Manager to execute a storm sewer easement on property owned by
Joseph Cushman III and located at 1570 Hammond Street. If approved, this easement will allow the
City to re-route stormwater from Hildreth Street to Shaw Brook, which should help alleviate flooding
on Outer Hammond Street near the Hermon town line.
The drainage on Hildreth Street is carried by a 15-inch concrete pipe to the Hammond Street storm
sewer, which is 15-inch polyethylene pipe. There have been numerous times when the Hammond
Street storm sewer has been overwhelmed by heavy flows, which then cause flooding on Hammond
Street. According to Maine DOT data, this section of Hammond Street sees an average of over
10,000 cars a day, and the flooded roadway is a hazard for road users.
The proposed new 24-inch polyethylene storm drain will start near on Hildreth Street approximately
320 feet from the intersection with Hammond Street. The pipe will intercept the existing 15-inch
concrete pipe, cross the property at 15 Hildreth Street, then continue on the rear of the lots at 1570
and 1606 Hammond Street before crossing the town line into Hermon, where it will continue across
property of Hermon Solar LLC for approximately 56 feet where it outlets to a plunge pool.
The City will access the area through the proposed easement, and will restore the property when the
work has been completed.
