The pump station work, disclosed in a town alert issued Friday morning, is expected to continue through the end of the year behind the Health Center building on North Main Street. The town did not specify what disruptions, if any, residents or Health Center visitors should expect during construction.
Separately, the town announced that applications are now open for non-profit organizations and youth groups interested in participating in this year's Natick Days celebration, according to a News Flash post Friday.
