The Westford Police Department would like to recognize Sgt. Nicoletti and Ofc. Mendonca for attending the 19th Annual Massachusetts Association of Women in Law Enforcement (MAWLE) Conference yesterday in Norwood.

The conference provided a great opportunity for our officers to network, connect, and collaborate with fellow female law enforcement professionals from across the Commonwealth while taking part in a variety of informative presentations and keynote discussions.

Topics included domestic violence, officer health and wellness, and the importance of recruiting and supporting female officers in law enforcement.

Events like this provide valuable opportunities to share experiences, learn from one another, and strengthen the connections that make our profession better.

Thank you to Massachusetts Association of Women in Law Enforcement for organizing another outstanding event and for continuing to educate, advocate, support, and empower women in law enforcement!

💧Please see the below important message from Westford Public Works regarding a water main break effecting a part of Nabnasset💧

🚧💧 WATER MAIN BREAK — BIRCH ROAD
Monday, November 2 | 5:00 PM

The Water Department is responding to a water main break on Birch Road. Homes on Birch Road between Chestnut and Pine will temporarily be without water while crews make repairs.

Service will be restored as soon as possible, but repairs may take several hours. Nearby residents may also experience low water pressure or discolored water.

If you notice discoloration, wait until repairs are complete, then run a COLD water faucet—a bathtub faucet is best—until the water clears. This may take several minutes.

Thank you for your patience as our crew works to restore service.
