The Lynn Water & Sewer Commission (LWSC) is preparing to implement improvements tied to the Ipswich River Project following a $200,000 grant received in 2024 from the Healey-Driscoll Administration. The project, focused on upgrading aging equipment at the pumping station, recently went out to bid, with general bids due on February 19.

LWSC aims to maintain water pumping operations from the Ipswich River, with upgrades necessary due to the original pumps dating back to 1915. The project is also connected to the removal of the Boston Dam, requiring adjustments to the piping and pumping infrastructure to ensure water flow to the city’s system. Work is expected to begin this summer.
