Tewksbury Neighborhood Dealing With Water Main Break, Service Outage

TEWKSBURY, MA — The town is attempting to restore water service in an area of Tewksbury. Water outages were reported in the Ames Hill Drive and Catamount Road areas, according to a Tewksbury Police Department Facebook post.

Crews were working on-site and anticipated resolving the issue by Sunday afternoon. However, Tewksbury police reported that the Department of Public Works and a private contractor were still attempting to restore water to the affected areas as of 3 p.m. Sunday.

The town manager and Department of Public Works director posted the following:

"The Town is dealing with two complex issues due to the recent water main break. One involves no water to the Ames Pond Apartment Complex due to the water main break. This will take time to address due to the depth and location of the break but the property management company is addressing any issues/needs with their tenants. The other issue is low pressure and in some cases no water to the Catamount Road neighborhood. To address that we are securing a booster pump to connect to the pump station to increase pressure and restore water to the neighborhood hopefully by morning."
