Acton Water District Fall Water Main Flushing 2011

The Acton Water District will begin its fall water main flushing program on Monday, October 3, 2011 and continue through the month of October. 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.

For periodic updates, please refer to the Acton Water District web site at www.actonwater.com, or call 978‐263‐9107 between the hours of 7:30 AM & 4 PM Mon‐Fri. Thank you
