GLOUCESTER DPW – On Wednesday June 11, 2025 between 6:30AM – 7:30AM, water treatment plant operations will be transferred from Babson Water Treatment Plant to West Gloucester Water Treatment Plant as a part of routine operations. This will result in a change in the direction of flow in some water mains and may cause temporary discoloration of the water as iron particles in the pipe are stirred up.
If you should experience “rusty” water, running a cold water tap for a few minutes should clear your line. We also recommend that you avoid the use of chlorine bleach during this time period to prevent staining of laundry.
If you experience persistent water quality problems, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the DPW at 978-325-5600 so that selective flushing can be targeted to problem areas.
Thank you for your cooperation.
