There is a leak on a major water pipe in Weston that has disrupted water service to all of our customer communities east of Weston.
MWRA is issuing a boil water order and water ban on all non-essential water use until further notice.
MWRA is working on activating emergency water supplies such as the Chestnut Hill Reservoir and Spot Pond Reservoir. A boil water notice has been issued for the service area along with a water ban. We request that all non-essential water use be discontinued until further notice.
The Emergency Operation Center in Chelsea is open.
This 120-inch diameter pipe transports water to our communities east to Weston, as far north as Wilmington and South to Stoughton. (A complete list of water communities is available on-line at http://www.mwra.com/02org/html/whatis.htm.)
State emergency procedures are in place, MEMA has been activated, and all water users should look for information on www.mass.gov.
