Groveland systems & permits
Groveland's sewer system is young by New England standards — the Sewer Department was founded in 1977, and it moves flow through 20 miles of gravity sewer, two miles of pressure force main, six lift stations and one main pump station to Haverhill's treatment plant. It also does not reach most of the town: roughly 48% of water customers are tied into municipal sewer, and only about three new connections a year have been added, with extensions financed by abutters through a betterment fund that runs to FY2035. So a Groveland drain call is as likely to end at a septic tank as at a town main. Excavation in the public way needs a trench permit for anything deeper than three feet, and underground work is restricted to licensed drainlayers on the department's own list.

"The Groveland Sewer Department was founded in 1977 to pump the Town of Groveland's sewage to the Haverhill Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF). The current system operates with six lift stations and one sewer pump station that move sewage through 20 miles of gravity sewers and two miles of pressure force main."
"Approximately 48% of all water customers are tied into municipal sewer" and "An average of approximately 3 new sewer connections have been added over the past several years." The connection fee is "$450 or $1,950 if the connection will be serviced by a pump station," and Groveland's betterment fund, which finances sewer extensions paid for by the affected property owners, "extends through FY2035."
Planned Groveland collection-system capital work includes "I/I removal projects and assessment of the Main Street Pump Station sewer force main," and the department carries recurring I/I Rehab and I/I Study line items. Groveland also contributes 3% of Haverhill WWTF capital improvement costs, projected at roughly $45,000 to $70,000 annually. The Main Street Sewer Pump Station upgrade was completed in 2013.
The Groveland Highway Department issues permits for excavation in town-owned right-of-way and for trenches exceeding three feet deep, under "Massachusetts General Law. Chapter 82A, Section 1 and 520 CMR 7.00 et seq." The department maintains approximately 101 lane miles of roads plus "drains, catch basins, brooks, and culverts," and public shade trees are regulated under MGL Chapter 87 with removal decided by the Tree Warden.
