08/17/2024

Boston Water and Sewer Commission will commence Water Main Flushing in the Chinatown, South End and Roxbury areas starting: August 20, 2024, through September 29, 2024. 

The boundaries for the areas being flushed are I-90 at Kneeland Street to the north, Malcolm X Blvd to the south, I-93 to the east and Huntington Avenue to the west.

The purpose of the Water Main Flushing Program is to improve drinking water quality for residents and businesses.

Water Main flushing will take place between the hours of 10:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M.

The flushing process may cause discolored water and a reduction in pressure. The discoloration of the water will be temporary and is not harmful.  If the condition persists, please contact BWSC's 24 Hour Service at (617) 989-7000. BWSC appreciates your patience as we work to improve the quality of drinking water we will provide to the residents and businesses of Boston. If you have any questions, contact BWSC's Night Operations Manager at (617) 989-7000 or visit our website @ www.bwsc.org.
