Spring Water Main Flushing Program - Week 7

Water Main Flushing - Week of May 13th
Posted on: May 10, 2019 - 8:59am

Please be advised that the Walnut Hill storage tank located on Old Town Way has been returned to service after routine cleaning, inspection, and disinfection.  As a result, water main flushing activities will resume on May 13, 2019.

Flushing is an essential maintenance function necessary to maintain water quality, improve the carrying capacity of pipes, and ensure the proper operation of distribution system components, such as hydrants and valves.

While conducting flushing operations in your neighborhood, you may experience discolored water or a small drop in water pressure. Please keep in mind that areas adjacent to the flushing routes may also be affected.  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.
