Groveland Police Respond to Multiple Car Break-Ins

GROVELAND — Chief Jeffrey Gillen reports that the Groveland Police Department is actively investigating after multiple cars were broken into over the weekend.

Groveland Police received multiple reports from residents on School Street that their cars were entered late Sunday night, and that several electronics were taken from inside some of the vehicles. Through their investigation, officers also determined that a garage was broken into.

“Residents should always remember to lock their cars when leaving it unattended, regardless of whether it’s parked on a busy street or in your own driveway,” Chief Gillen said. “Locking your vehicle is one of the most straightforward ways to avoid making your personal belongings easily accessible to criminals.”

Groveland Police would also like to remind residents of the importance of removing any expensive items — as well as anything containing sensitive personal information — from inside their vehicles.

Anyone who observes activity that seems suspicious should call Groveland Police immediately at 978-521-1212.

Groveland Water and Sewer Department to Conclude Fall Flushing

Program Was Conducted Using Newly-Implemented Approach

GROVELAND — Superintendent Thomas Cusick reports that the Groveland Water and Sewer Department is concluding its fall system flushing today, which it conducted using a new approach. 

 

The department expects to finish its fall flushing by 2 p.m. today. 

 

Starting with its fall flushing work, the Groveland Water and Sewer Department implemented a new uni-directional flushing method, which relies on a system wide redirection of water flow by isolating water mains and shutting gates.

 

 As a result, the uni-directional method is more reliant on these gates, which and less reliant on above ground hydrants. Main gate valves are used in an emergency to make repairs by isolating areas in the water system.

 

“While we have encountered some challenges in implementing this new program, including temporary service interruptions, we’ve ultimately seen a tremendous improvement in the flushing process,” Superintendent Cusick said. “I appreciate residents’ patience as we worked through this program, and I expect that this new approach will contribute to a long-term improvement in water quality system wide.”
