Why's My Water Off In Shrewsbury?

SHREWSBURY, MA—Nothing coming out of your faucets? Not to worry. It's short-lived and for good reason.

Shrewsbury's water department is doing some main gate replacement work on Wednesday, Nov. 7, at the intersection of Francis Ave. and Paton Road, as well as the intersection of Patron Road and Summers Street between Holly Lane to Eastwood Road, all of Hillcrest Ave. and Francis Ave. from Paton Road to Flanagan Drive from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

It's possible, according to officials, that the area may extend out even further if the valves don't fully hold.

Traffic will be restricted or the roadways closed on all of Paton Road, Summer Street from Raymond Ave. to Hillcrest Ave. and Francis Ave. closed off at the intersection of Paton Road.

This work is to prepare for a water main replacement on Francis Ave. to start on Tuesday, Nov. 13. The project entails replacement of water main and services between Main Street and Paton Road.
