Groveland Water and Sewer Department Announces Spring Flushing Schedule

GROVELAND — Superintendent Thomas Cusick reports that Groveland Water and Sewer Department will begin its spring flushing program later this month. 


The department will begin flushing the pipes both during the day and at night starting on April 17.

For a complete flushing schedule, click here.

The Groveland Water and Sewer Department flushes the system twice yearly in order to remove naturally occurring buildups of iron and manganese that are present in groundwater, which the town uses as its sole water source.

 

Residents may experience low or even no water pressure while flushing is taking place on their streets. They may also notice that their home’s water is cloudy for a few hours during or after flushing. That cloudiness can be eliminated by using a high flow faucet until water runs clear.

 

“Flushing is an essential process that helps maintain the highest possible water quality throughout town,” Director Cusick said. “I want to thank residents in advance for their patience and cooperation despite any inconvenience this work may cause.”

 

The flushing schedule is a guide and subject to change. Residents should call the Water and Sewer Department or check the website for changes.

Groveland Water and Sewer Department Working to Repair Water Main Break

GROVELAND — Superintendent Thomas Cusick reports that the Groveland Water and Sewer Department is working to repair a water main leak on Rt. 97.

The break occurred on Rt. 97 near Federal Way. Water service will be shut down on Rt. 97, otherwise known as Salem Street, from the intersection of School Street to the Georgetown line so that crews can make repairs.

Crews are on scene at this time, excavating the area around the leak in order to locate its source and make appropriate repairs.

Service is expected to be restored later this afternoon. Residents in the immediate vicinity may experience discolored water when service is restored, and they are urged to run the water for several minutes until any sediment is cleared. Once restored and run clear, the water will be safe for all uses.

The Groveland Water and Sewer Department regrets any inconvenience this causes, but crews are on scene and will be working aggressively to repair the break. It is not known what caused the break at this time.

Residents are highly encouraged to sign up for the town’s E-Alerts at https://www.grovelandma.com/subscribe.
