The boundaries for the areas being flushed are Mass Pike to the north, Chestnut Hill Reservoir/Commonwealth Avenue to the south, Ringer Park/City Border West/Brookline to the east and City of Newton Border to the west.
The purpose of the Water Main Flushing Program is to improve drinking water quality for residents and businesses.
