Boston Water and Sewer Commission will commence Water Main Flushing in the Jamaica Plain, Roslindale and West Roxbury areas starting: May 13th, 2025, through July 6th, 2025. The boundaries for the areas being flushed are the Border with Town of Brookline to the north, Stony Brook Park to the south, Centre Street to the east and Baker Street 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 that we 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.
