Town Of Shrewsbury: Important Notice From The Water & Sewer Division - Overnight Work On Route 20 On 8/31

Press release from the Town of Shrewsbury:

August 31, 2021

Tonight, Tuesday, August 31st from 9:00 PM to 5:00AM on Wednesday, September 1st, the Shrewsbury Water Department will be making repairs to the emergency water interconnection to Worcester. This interconnection allows the Town of Shrewsbury to flow drinking water from the City of Worcester in the event of an emergency. The work will take place on Hartford Turnpike (Route 20) at the Worcester city line. One lane of traffic will be maintained in both directions by the work zone. Please follow the link below for more information.

We are not anticipating an interruption in water service in the area, however, due to unknown conditions, residents west of Edgemere Boulevard should be prepared for an interruption if the scope of work changes. The area will be paved at a later date.

Residents in the vicinity of the impacted area may also have reduced pressure or discolored water due to the interruption in water service. If you experience discolored water after service is restored, please run the cold water in an outside faucet, or downstairs bathtub until it clears. 

We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to make improvements to our water distribution system to ensure reliability and good water quality. Please contact the Department of Public Works at 508-841-8502 or watersewer@shrewsburyma.gov with questions.
