WESTBOROUGH – The town is advising residents that they may experience discolored water as a water tank is taken out of service.
The town announced that the Fay Mountain water tank will be taken out of service for one to two weeks during a construction project. The work includes improvements to boost the disinfectant that is used to purify the drinking water before it enters the piping network.
According to the town, when the tank is disconnected, flow patterns in the system may change, creating discolored water throughout the Ultra High Pressure Zone in town. The zone can be identified by orange fire hydrants.
If you experience discolored water, the town recommends running the cold water tap until the water runs clear and to avoid laundry or using hot water until the water is clear.
If you have any questions, contact the Department of Public Works at 508-366-3070.
