As of approximately 6:20 AM on August 23, 2019, a water main break located at the Concord Rotary was repaired and water service has been restored to all customers.

Based on the location and nature of this break, some customers may experience a temporary reduction in water pressure, air in pipes, or discolored water.

Air - If you turn on your tap and no water comes out or it comes out in spurts. Close your tap and then open the cold water tap a small amount until the water flows in a steady stream. You may need to repeat this process at each tap in your home.

Brown Water - If you are seeing brown water, we recommend running the cold water for 5 minutes to clear the line into your home. If the water doesn’t become clear after 5 minutes, shut it off and wait one hour for the disturbance to settle or pass, and then try again.

White Water - If you are seeing white water, this is just air that has been entrained in the water as the water main was re-pressurized. This condition will clear up as the water is used normally, and may take 1-5 days (or longer in the winter when the water is cold). The water is safe to use as you would normally – you can fill up a cup and watch the tiny bubbles slowly dissipate.

If you have questions or concerns, please call CPW’s Water and Sewer Division at 978-318-3250.  CPW’s Water & Sewer Division’s normal operating hours are Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.  If you reach our voicemail please leave a message with your name, address and telephone number and we will return your call as soon as possible.
