NOTICE TO RESIDENTS: Upcoming Stormwater Pipe Inspections

Townsend Village I & II | Beginning November 9, 2026

The Town of Townsend would like to notify residents of Townsend Village I & II of upcoming stormwater pipe inspections being conducted as part of the Town’s larger Surface Water Management Project.

Beginning Monday, November 9, 2026, contractors will be performing video inspections of the Town’s underground stormwater drainage pipes. This work is anticipated to take approximately 10 days to complete, weather and field conditions permitting.

These inspections are an important step in evaluating the condition of the Town’s existing stormwater infrastructure, identifying potential concerns, and assisting with future improvements to the Town’s drainage systems.

Important Information for Residents

To ensure contractors can safely and efficiently complete these inspections, we kindly ask residents to:

• Avoid parking over or obstructing stormwater manholes and storm drain inlets.
• Keep areas surrounding storm drains and manhole covers clear to allow contractors access.
• Be mindful of contractors and equipment working along neighborhood roadways during the inspection period.

Please note that while stormwater and sanitary sewer manholes serve different purposes, they may appear similar. Residents are encouraged to avoid parking over any manhole covers during this time.

What to Expect

Contractors will be working throughout Townsend Village I & II, accessing stormwater infrastructure and utilizing specialized camera equipment to inspect underground pipes. Residents may notice contractor vehicles and equipment along neighborhood streets during this process.

The Town appreciates your patience and cooperation as we continue working toward improving and maintaining our stormwater infrastructure.

Thank you for helping us keep Townsend’s drainage systems accessible and functioning properly!
