FLUSHING NOTICE

ATTENTION   COTUIT  RESIDENTS

 

WATER MAIN FLUSHING NOTICE_____________________________________________

The Cotuit Water Department will be flushing water mains (weather permitting) from:

 

Monday, April 2nd – Friday, June 1st 9 AM – 4 PM  Monday through Friday

 

Water main flushing is part of a preventive maintenance program being undertaken by the Water Department to ensure that water

quality is not being compromised.

Discoloration of the water may occur.  This is an unavoidable effect of flushing, with an aesthetic value only, and is not considered a health hazard.  The water should clear after a short period of time.

Signs will be visible in flushing areas.  Residents in these areas are advised to refrain from laundering between 9 am and 4 pm and to set water aside for drinking and cooking purposes.

All village residents are advised to check water clarity before use, while this program is in operation, as water lines outside the flushing area could be affected.

We appreciate the cooperation of our customers and apologize for any inconvenience.

Please call Cotuit Water at 508-428-2687 with any questions.
