Community Notice: Hopkinton Water & Sewer Hydrant Flushing

By contributor,

We will be starting on Hayden Rowe and working our way South and then East via Chestnut starting in the Briarcliff area working toward Alprilla Farm. After that section is complete, we will send out a notice and begin to head through the Springwood development. As this is going to be a major flushing effort and we could encounter unforeseen issues, we are not sure how far we are going to make it each day. Because the daily flushing will be all in the general vicinity, there is a chance there could be discoloration on several days and not just as we are in specific neighborhoods.
