Discolored Water Possible During Roadwork In Hingham, Hull

HINGHAM, MA — The Hingham Water Department told residents Wednesday to be prepared to see discolored water over the next month as Hingham and Hull conduct road paving projects.

The work may cause a disruption in the distributions system and cause the discolored water. Residents are asked to contact the new Weir River Water System if experiencing any extended periods of discoloration.

Hingham recently took control of the Weir River Water System as a town-operated entity.

"Weir River Water System continues to meet or exceed water quality parameters," officials said. "However, we do not recommend washing white clothes if you notice discolored water. We realize that you may be inconvenienced during this time and kindly ask for your patience and support as we develop long-term solutions and take the necessary steps to prevent this issue in the future."

Those with questions, or who have extended water discoloration, are asked to call 781-740-6695 during business hours or contact the system through its website.
