Danvers Water Chlorine-Adding Station Set To Go Online

DANVERS, MA — Danvers residents may experience some water disruption next week as the town prepares to start up the new chlorine booster station at the Folly Hill water storage tank.

The new tank will add chlorine to the water at Folly Hill rather than the treatment plant in Middleton. This is intended to provide more even disinfection of the water throughout the system.

On June 21, the initial startup of the booster station will temporarily change the distribution and pressure of the water throughout Danvers and Middleton. Any disruption should occur between 6 and 10 a.m.

Danvers and Middleton customers may experience some temporary inconveniences such as the loss of water pressure and slightly discolored water during this time.

Danvers residents are asked to immediately contact the Danvers Engineering Division at 978-777-2668 or the Danvers Water Treatment Plant at 978-774-5054 if they notice any changes in water quality.

Additional information regarding the project will be posted here and the Danvers DPW Facebook and Twitter pages.
