Broadway Water Treatment Plant 2/7

Water Department crews are in the process of bringing the Broadway Water Treatment Plant back on line after it had been shut down due to construction related activities.  This process has resulted in some discolored water in and around 507 Broadway.  Crews are flushing hydrants in the area and we expect the water to clear shortly. While the hydrants are open in your neighborhood, you may experience discolored water or a small drop in water pressure. In the unlikely event your water service is interrupted or you are experiencing no water pressure please notify the DPW as soon as possible at 781-826-3189.  Should your water appear reddish, yellow or brown, do not be alarmed. It is recommended you do not use the water or do laundry for two hours after noticing this discoloration.  After you have waited, run your cold water tap (without the aerator screen) for five to ten minutes.  This should remove any sediment from inside your service.  If you continue to see discolored water, we ask that you call the Water Department at 781-826-3189 during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. -4:00 p.m.).  If you are calling outside of normal business hours please call the Hanover Communications Center at 781-826-2335 x 0.  We apologize for this inconvenience.
