Town Of Andover Announces Water System Flushing

Press release from Town of Andover:

The Andover Department of Public Works will conduct a Water Distribution System Flushing Program in Town starting October 7th, 2024, and will end on or before December 6th. The purpose of the Distribution System Flushing Program is to improve drinking water quality for residents and businesses.

Flushing will occur in the eastern part of Town, roughly bordered by High Street to the north, Main Street and Sunset Rock Road to the west, North Reading to the south, and North Andover to the east. Please View the listing of streets and neighborhoods that may be affected. This list will be updated periodically throughout the project.

Distribution system flushing will take place Monday – Friday between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM. Please check the Town’s website periodically for updates and a listing of streets and neighborhoods that may be affected.

The flushing process may cause discolored water and a reduction in pressure. The discoloration of the water will be temporary.
