The Lynnfield Center Water District, will be conducting a water system flow testing on Summer Street at Town Hall. Residents in this area along Main Street and Summer Street and adjacent neighborhoods could experience a brief period of discoloration or low pressure flow.
Testing will occur between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 26th.
If as a result of this work you EXPERIENCE PERIODS WITH NO WATER, POOR PRESSURE AND POSSIBLE DISCOLORATION OF THE WATER, please see below:
- 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.
- We do not recommend, but you may flush your toilet; however, when the water is turned on you will need to flush 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.
