Booth Street @ Central Ave Gate Valve Replacement

The Water Division is scheduled to replace an old gate valve on Booth St @ Central Ave. Water will temporarily be shut-off to the locations listed below. Residents and/or businesses will be without water for approximately 8 hours. The Town asks for all residents/businesses to draw sufficient water for the duration of the day before the scheduled shut-off.

Shut-off Scheduled for Monday, July 22, 2019 at 9am
**If we are unable to perform the scheduled work, the shut-off will be re-scheduled**

 The following locations will be affected:  
59 Booth St to Central Ave 

Water service will be restored as soon as possible. The Needham Water & Sewer Division recommends that, when the water supply is returned, residents/businesses should run their cold water tap for a few minutes to ensure that any air and/or rust/sediment that may have entered the water service to your home/building has cleared. Please be sure to do this prior to drinking the water or doing any laundry.

If you have any questions or would like more information on this project, please feel free to stop by the Water Division at DPW, or you may contact Sean Harrington @ (781) 455 – 7550.
