MWRA WORK MAY CAUSE DISCOLORED WATER IN STONEHAM

MORE INFORMATION
cover of water report 2009

On Wednesday, December 3, 2009, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority will be installing new valves in a water line near the Stone Zoo. This work may cause discolored water in Stoneham for up to three days.

If discolored water does occur, it will result from a small amount of iron in the pipes. While safe for drinking, cooking and other uses, please note that iron will stain light colored items in your laundry, especially when bleach is used.  Residents should check water clarity before washing any white or lighter colored laundry during this period of work.  Please call MWRA at (617) 305-5950 if you have any concerns.
