Water Main Break – Claflin Place
Crews are currently responding to a water main break on Claflin Place.
To facilitate repairs, the water main serving Claflin Place has been shut down. Customers in the affected area will experience a temporary interruption of water service while repairs are completed.
We anticipate the repair work will take approximately 4 to 8 hours, although this timeframe may change depending on field conditions.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to restore water service as quickly and safely as possible.
Well #7 pump has been successfully replaced, and Wells #7 and #8 are now back online and operating normally.
We thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this process.
Notice: Claflin Place Temporary Water Main Bypass Installation
Please be advised that, due to an irreparable water main failure on Claflin Place, the Water and Sewer Department has retained a private contractor to install a temporary above-ground water main bypass to maintain water service to residents during the replacement of the existing water main.
Work Schedule
The temporary bypass will be supplied by a connection to an existing fire hydrant on Commonwealth Avenue and will extend along Claflin Place. As part of the installation, the bypass piping will also cross the nearby bike trail.
Traffic and Trail Access
The temporary bypass is a critical part of the project and will allow uninterrupted water service to Claflin Place residents while the Water and Sewer Department replaces the deteriorated water main.
We appreciate the public's patience and cooperation as we complete these necessary improvements to the Town's water infrastructure. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Water and Sewer Department.
