LYNN — Water and Sewer Commission Executive Director Dan O’Neill said that the city is investing $1.1 million to make sure that King’s Beach is in good standing by beach season.

The city will be using a camera to survey 21 miles of the drainage system at King’s Beach, O’Neill said. Every foot of the drainage system on the Lynn side will be cleaned and inspected.

“The plan is to get this done by Memorial Day,” O’Neill said at the Water and Sewer Commission’s meeting on Monday. “We haven’t found any smoking guns… we’re in pretty good shape.”

Eric Kelley, a consultant for the city, described the status of the beach in relation to the drainage system.

Production and traffic management could be an issue, Kelley said. He said the city will try to do drainage work during the spring’s school vacations when there isn’t a lot of student and bus traffic, and that progress is being made.

Commissioner Robin Grace asked the board about the procedure to notify residents when work is being performed.

“Is there some sort of metric that we could use to show before and after? Any sort of measurements we could take to show the progress or at least show on the Lynn side? ‘We think we’ve remediated this much?’” Grace asked.

O’Neill said the city notifies residents if a bad reading is detected at a home. He added that tests are being conducted for ammonia, different types of detergent, and any other type of waste material.

Kelley said the city is tracking progress and recording information on a case-by-case basis. He also said a contractor, which has not been selected yet, will have 70 days to complete this work, and it will have to submit a work plan and a schedule detailing how it will clean and inspect the drainage system.
