A proposal to build a canopy tour (or zip line) in Quincy Quarries provides few details; raises questions.
Al Endriunas of Easton was looking for a site to build a ‘canopy tour’ for families and youth groups. Young and old would climb into a harness attached to a wire above them and slide through the air, enjoying great views and, as he says, learning a ‘story.’

Dear Neighbor,
Yesterday, Thursday, December 8, 2011, the MWRA, began the process of bringing into service some of the newly installed and newly rehabilitated water pipes in the area of Bakers Court in Dorchester and Milton Village. While this operation was being conducted, a sudden flow reversal in the water pipe caused some discolored water in the Town of Milton’s water mains. Some residents of East Milton may notice cloudy water coming out of their taps.

The Last meeting of the Board of Selectmen was brief but interesting. Topics discussed included the pending article for Town Meeting concerning the Community Preservation Act, the committee to review Town Government, and signage approvals.
Notice from the DPW
The MWRA work in Dorchester/Lower Mills has created discolored water in the Town of Milton.
If discolored water does occur, it will result from a small amount of iron in local pipes. While it is still 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 near this location should check water clarity before washing any white or lighter colored laundry during this period of work.
