Blast and Drilling Warning
Contractors will carry out blasting and drilling at the Sparta Waste Water Treatment Plant, located at 140 River Rd. These activities are scheduled to start the week of February 2nd, and should be finished by February 20, 2026. Before starting, a pre-blasting survey team will visit all residences within 500 feet of the blast zone. With homeowners' permission, they will inspect and document the properties' condition before blasting. This inspection is voluntary but necessary if property damage results from blasting. If the property owner is unavailable during the visit, the team will leave a door hanger requesting that the owner contact them.
The town does not oversee the pre-blast survey team; that responsibility lies with the construction contract, and issues are directed to the contractors. Residents in the blast zone should promptly contact the survey team, and those outside the zone should be aware of loud blasts. Blasting is scheduled to begin on February 11, 2026, and should end by February 20, 2026, barring delays.
