Municipal Asset Mapping Project (MAP) – Water Infrastructure
The Town of Westford is improving the reliability and efficiency of its water system through the Municipal Asset Mapping Project (MAP). Using GPS and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, the Water Department is accurately locating and mapping water mains, valves, hydrants, and service connections throughout town.
Field work for this phase begins April 6, 2026 and will continue throughout the spring, summer, and fall.
The Water Department is locating and mapping water infrastructure using high-accuracy GPS equipment. This includes:
This work creates a detailed digital map that improves system management and long-term planning.
Accurate infrastructure mapping allows the Town to:
🔧 Respond faster to leaks, breaks, and service disruptions
🔍 Identify aging or at-risk service lines
📋 Plan repairs and upgrades responsibly
💰 Improve long-term budgeting
🛡️ Strengthen overall system reliability
Work typically takes place near property boundaries within the public right-of-way.
In some cases, crews may need brief access to a small portion of private property to visually confirm and record the location of a service valve using GPS technology.
Crews are easily identifiable by official Town-issued clothing and will make every effort to minimize disruption.
Work at each location usually takes less than 30 minutes.
