Acton Water District
Fall 2011 Water Main Flushing
The Acton Water District will begin its
fall water main flushing program through the Month of October starting on Monday, October 3, 2011.
We will be flushing water mains east of Main St/Rt 27
and south of Rt 2 (South Acton).
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 Monday - Thursday.
At any time during this period, customers may experience
discolored water.
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.
