WEST NEWBURY — Water Department Superintendent Michael Gootee would like to announce that a new water valving system will be installed in town this week.
On Thursday, Sept. 8, the the West Newbury Water Department along with contractors will be installing a three-way valving system on the water main located in the driveway of Long Hill Orchard.
The excavation work is scheduled to begin around 3:30 p.m. and the water line is scheduled to be shut down around 7 p.m. Water is expected to be turned off for 3-4 hours.
Once the valves have been installed, the Water Department will begin flushing the water main and then put the water system back in service. Water may be discolored from shutting and opening valves and refilling water main. Run the water in your home until it runs clear. Refrain from doing laundry during the construction period.
On Friday, Sept. 9, the Water Department will be installing a water main across Main Street to the entrance of the subdivision. Unless something unforeseen happens, the water willnot be shut off again.
All residents located between the Library to the Page School will be affected, including those who reside on Main Street, Baileys Lane, Training Field and Coffin Street.
West Newbury Water Department will be sending a CODERED message on Tuesday, Sept. 6, with additional information on the project. Please visit www.wnewbury.org for more information.
