Fire Flow Test 9/1 9pm near 742 Washington St

A fire flow test will be conducted on Tuesday, September 1, 2015 at approximately 9:00 P.M. in the vicinity of 742 Washington Street. Fire flow tests are conducted primarily to determine the rate of flow available for fire-fighting purposes at a given location in the water distribution system. During the fire flow test, residents may experience a drop in water pressure and/or dirty water from dislodged sediments in the pipes. Should you experience this, we ask that you simply run cold water from your faucet for several minutes until it runs clear. If you continue to see discolored water, we ask that you call the Water Department at 781-826-3189, and we will send someone out to inspect the issue and do any additional flushing of the system that may be required.
