This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Doug Martin, Franklin’s Water and Sewer Superintendent and Jake Standly, the Assistant Water/Sewer Superintendent .
We had our conversation in the Franklin Public Radio studios on Hutchinson St on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. Our conversation covered updates on Water & Sewer projects previously discussed in each their own three-part series.
The show notes include links to the Franklin water & sewer division page
Let’s listen to this part of my conversation with Doug and Jake and learn about the updates to Franklin’s sewer and water projects.

We did forget to cover the wholesale water program. It was suspended once the drought alerts from the State were issued. When not in drought, it does generate some additional revenue (more per gallon than residents pay) https://www.franklinma.gov/1109/Wholesale-Water
