Please be Advised *** WATER MAIN FLUSHING *** BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 UNTIL COMPLETION — The Town of Milton will be conducting its fall water main flushing program beginning the week of September 24, 2012 continuing until completion. Flushing will take place between the hours of 10:00 pm.-5:00 am nightly.

Water main flushing is an efficient method of improving water quality and is an important part of a water distribution system maintenance program. The flushing activity may cause discolored water due to dissolved iron. The water may not be aesthetically pleasing but according to the environmental protection agency is not a public health threat. The Milton D.P.W. will closely monitor the water quality.

Persons who experience discoloration should clear their water system by running their cold water for several minutes until the water is clear. The town appreciates your patience as we work to improve the quality of your drinking water.

If you have any questions please call the D.P.W. office at 617-898-4900 between the hours of 7:30 am. – 4: 00 pm.
