Sewer Department

What We Do:

The Sewer Department maintains over one hundred miles of sewer mains, over 3,000 structures, and 28 pump stations.

The sewerage system services approximately 7,800 buildings.  Sewage is ultimately pumped from the Beach Street pumping station to the South Essex Sewerage District (SESD) treatment plant in Salem where it receives secondary treatment.

Marblehead has been a member of SESD since a favorable vote of Town Meeting in 1972.  The town started using the plant when it began operations in 1978.  Secondary Treatment was added in 1999.
