Temporary Water Shut-Off Planned For Brookline Neighborhood

BROOKLINE, MA — A group of Brookline residents will be without town water service for several hours Friday as crews work to repair a leak, the town Department of Public Works announced Friday morning.

Crews will shut off water service around Sumner Road between 101 Sumner Road and the road’s intersection with Tappan Street at 9 a.m. The shut-off is scheduled to continue until 2 p.m., officials said.

Area residents may see discolored water as a result of water service work. Town officials said this can be cleared by running cold water on a trickle for between five and 10 minutes.

“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause,” the Brookline Department of Public Works’ Water and Sewer Division said in its announcement Friday.

Anyone with questions or concerns can contact the Department of Public Works at 617-730-2170.
