There will be a temporary loss of water at the northern end of Bedford Road and Silver Birch Lane on Wednesday, August 14 between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. This shutoff is necessary to allow crews to perform essential repairs to the water main located in your area.
“We understand that this disruption can be inconvenient, and we apologize for any disruption to your daily routine. We are committed to completing the repairs as quickly and efficiently as possible,” said Water Department Superintendent Darin Lafalam.
Affected residents should prepare by filling containers with water for essential needs such as drinking, cooking, and flushing toilets. Consider turning off any appliances that rely on water pressure before he shutoff begins.
After water service is restored, users may experience low water pressure or air trapped in the pipes for a short time. If so, open a cold-water faucet located at the highest point in your home, such as an upstairs bathroom sink, and let the water run until a clear stream appears. This will help remove any trapped air. If you experience brown or rusty water after service is restored, avoid using hot water or doing laundry until you flush water from an exterior faucet or garden hose for 10 minutes or until clear.
Anyone with questions or concerns may call 781-259-2669.
