MWRA PIPELINE WORK MAY CAUSE DISCOLORED WATER
IN PARTS OF MILTON
The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority will be performing pipeline work from the period October 4 through October 19, 2007 that may cause discolored water in the area of East Milton Square north to Hope Avenue.
If discolored water does occur, it will result from a small amount of iron in the pipes. While safe for drinking, cooking and other uses, please note that iron will stain light colored items in your laundry, especially when bleach is used. Therefore, residents should check water clarity before washing any white or lighter colored laundry during this period of work.
This work is associated with the MWRA’s Southern Spine Distribution Mains project which involves the rehabilitation and/or replacement of three water transmission mains serving the communities of Boston, Milton and Quincy. This project is needed to modernize the water distribution system, provide adequate capacity for these communities, and service the new Blue Hills Covered Storage Facility.
