Hull’s Memorial Middle School to Remain Open, Despite Temporary Gas Cutoff

HULL — Superintendent Michael F. Devine reports that the gas at Memorial Middle School has been temporarily cut off while an old pipe is replaced.

A National Grid worker was painting an exterior gas pipe to the school on Tuesday, when she discovered that the pipe was in need of repair. A National Grid inspector came to the school, and determined that the pipe will need to be replaced.

In order to replace the pipe, gas has been temporarily shut off at Memorial Middle School, and is expected to be back on within 48 hours.

At no time was there any risk of danger to students or staff at the school.

After a consultation between the Hull Pubic Schools and the Hull Board of Health, it was determined that the district will be able to keep the Middle School open during the repairs. The water is still running at the school, and while hot water is unavailable bottles of hand sanitizer will be placed in every bathroom.

As a result of the repairs, gas and hot water is temporarily unavailable in the building. The school’s food service provider, Witsons, will be cooking meals at another school and transporting them to the facility until gas is restored.

Hull Public School officials will notify parents and guardians once gas service to the building is turned back on.

Major Water Main Break in Rowley Results in Temporarily Lost Water Service to Parts of Town

ROWLEY — The Rowley Water Department, on behalf of the Rowley Water Commission, and the Rowley Police Department report that, due to a water main break, water service is temporarily shut off in parts of town.

A work crew installing a new guardrail on Rt. 1 near the Rt 133 intersection apparently struck a water main while installing the guardrail across from the McDonald’s restaurant. This resulted in a geyser of water rushing from the area for a short period of time before water department crews were able to shut down the line.

Water service is suspended from the intersection, south to the Ipswich line, and service is not expected to be resumed until late in the day or tomorrow.

The Rowley Water Department is on scene, and crews will work non-stop until the main is repaired and service is restored.

Other water customers in town may notice fluctuations in water pressure or temporary drops or loss in service, and all water customers may notice some discoloration in the water, especially when service is fully restored. Flushing your cold water lines until the water runs clear is recommended in the event of discoloration.

The water remains safe for all uses.

Anyone with questions should call the Rowley Water Department at 978-948-2640

Groveland Lifts Temporary Water Outdoor Restriction

GROVELAND — Superintendent Colin Stokes and the Groveland Water and Sewer Department report that the temporary outdoor watering restriction put in place early Monday has been lifted.

“We want to thank residents for their cooperation during our period of water restriction,” Stokes said. “At this time we are pleased to say outside watering can be resumed.”

Two of the town’s three wells were down Monday due to mechanical and electric problems, and they were unable to pump water into the distribution system. Residents were notified via an automated phone call about the outdoor restriction.

At this time, one of the down well has been repaired, allowing the department to operate at a much higher pumping capacity.

The remaining well will be out of service until further repair work can be completed, however it will not affect the town’s ability to use water for all uses, indoors and outside.
