Water superintendent presents Samoset Street pump station plan to address West Plymouth shortage
Summary
Water Superintendent Peter Gordon presented plans for a 25x30-foot pump station on Samoset Street to relieve West Plymouth’s water deficit; the contractor aims for January 2027 completion and Water Division staff will visit the station approximately twice weekly.
Water Superintendent Peter Gordon told the Plymouth Cemetery Commission on March 4, 2026 that the Water Division is proposing a pump station on Samoset Street, located outside the Vine Hills Cemetery fence, to help alleviate an ongoing water deficit in West Plymouth.
Gordon presented updated design plans and said the commission favored a brick exterior as the most aesthetically pleasing option. The planned building footprint is approximately 25 by 30 feet, with an 18-foot retaining wall and a generator. Discussion included fencing and landscaping to reduce visual and physical impacts on the cemetery.
According to the minutes, Water Division staff will visit the station about twice a week once it is operational. The contractor is targeting a January 2027 completion date. Superintendent Gordon told the commission he will provide an update to the commission in the spring.
The minutes do not include specific permitting steps, funding sources, or contract award details; those items were not specified and will be subject to forthcoming town procedures and permitting.
