Andover Water Main Replacement Happening For Approximately 7 Months

ANDOVER, MA — The Town of Andover has announced that water main replacement will be taking place throughout the town for approximately seven months.

According to Andover officials, the town's general contractor will be working on the project from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday through Friday while construction lasts.

Officials said that during construction, there will be some adjustments to neighborhood driving patterns, and there may be detours and delays.

"However, every effort will be made to minimize this inconvenience," Andover officials said in a statement. "Emergency vehicles will not be prevented from responding to calls."

Additionally, periodic water shutdowns will occur during the construction, and there is the potential for discolored water resulting from the water main work, officials said.

Residents are asked to report discolored water to the Andover Water Division at MSDiscoloredWater@andoverma.us, or by calling 978-623-8707 and leaving a message.
