Acton Water District
Fall Water Main Flushing 2008
The Acton Water District will begin its fall water main flushing program on October 6, 2008. We will be flushing water mains West of Main St and South of Route 2. Discolored water and periods of low, to no, pressure may be experienced on, or in the general vicinity of, any of the streets being flushed. We will place road signs in the vicinity prior to initiating flushing on any street.
Flushing will occur between the hours of 8 AM and 8 PM. During this period, customers may experience discolored water at any time during this process. It is advisable to draw and store some drinking water prior to flushing. Any customers experiencing discolored water should not launder light-colored clothing, or run their dishwashers, as the Iron in the water may cause staining.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
This process is necessary for periodic
removal of sediment in the distribution system and to minimize future incidents
of discolored water.
For periodic updates, please refer back to this webpage or call 978-263-9107.
Thank you
