LCWD has been working with the Town of Wakefield Public Works Department and Cardillo Construction to complete the new interconnect distribution loop through Lynnfield on Bay State Road and on Main Street, from Bay State Road to the Wakefield Town Line. The final component of this work will be completed on Wednesday, December 6, 2023. and is expected to create impacts to the water system beginning at 8:00 am until 12:00 noon. The work will require a shutdown of the LCWD existing water system from approximately Partridge Lane to the end of the system near Wakefield. It is anticipated that the following areas will be impacted:
- Main Street from Partridge to Wakefield line
- Bay State Road
- Pine Street
- Freeman Street
- Edwards Ave North and South
- Coleman Ave
- Sigmund Street
- Olde Towne Road
- New Meadow Road
- London Road
LCWD Operators will be on site throughout the work and will return the system to regular operation over the course of the afternoon and flush areas as needed to minimize discoloration, pressure issues and any other incidental water quality concerns that may arise. Please refer to the Do’s and Don’ts after the work has been complete and water has been restored to normal operations.
- TURN YOUR COLD WATER ON FIRST AND LET IT RUN UNTIL IT IS CLEAR, PREFERABLY FROM AN OUTSIDE WATER SPIGOT.
- Do not run your hot water or use your dishwasher until the water is clear.
- Do not use your washing machine – your clothes may become stained.
- Although the water is safe to drink, please avoid drinking the water if it is discolored.
- You may need to flush your toilet several times to clear the discolored water from the toilet tank.
- If you accidentally use your hot water while the water is discolored, you may have to completely flush the hot water tank to clear out the discolorations and there is a possibility that you may damage the hot water heater.
