Water & Wastepipe Testing Inc. will be conducting a leak detection survey of the water distribution system.

The survey will be conducted between the hours of 8:30 am and 3:00 pm, Monday through Friday.

Any questions regarding this work should be directed to the Acton Water District at 978-263-9107.
OUTDOOR WATER USE RESTRICTIONS
Due to reduced production capacity associated with PFAS, the seasonal outdoor water use restrictions have been extended and will be in effect for the upcoming 2023 growing season. These restrictions allow for lawn watering only 1 day per week. We ask customers to adhere to our restrictions and encourage them to take further actions to reduce water waste inside and outside the home.
