Weather permitting, the DPW and contractor R. Kadesh will be performing emergency water service repairs on Monday November 16, 2026 near #155 Union St.

DPW and contractor crews will mobilize for 7AM, allow morning bus commutes, and then shut down the road on Union St. between King St. and North St. to make repairs. Residents may experience reduced water pressure, no water and/or discolored water, as repairs are made. Neighboring water services on Union St. between King St. and North St. will be interrupted.

Crews will make every effort to work quickly and clear the site, but a full day of work is expected with detours in place during afternoon school dismissals and commutes. The work is expected to take a day with a second day needed for site restoration. Updates will be posted in-kind.

Traffic is expected to be redirected to Diamond St. Police details, DPW staff, and signage will be on site. We appreciate your patience as repairs are made! For questions or if you experience any issues, please call the DPW at 508-528-4990.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice!
