ORIGINAL - 11/03/22: MWRA Pipeline and Valve Crews are currently working on a leak at Waverly Oaks Road in Waltham. During this time, residents may experience low water pressure. Communities affected are:

• Lexington
• Arlington
• Belmont
• Watertown
• Bedford
• Winchester (in the Western portion of town)
• Waltham

Burlington has isolated their connection from MWRA.

Crews will continue to work until the repairs are completed. When repaired, residents should run faucets until clear before doing laundry. Discolored water is not a health concern.

If discolored water does occur, it will be from a small amount of iron in local pipes. Please note that iron will stain light colored items in your laundry, especially when bleach is used. Residents should check water clarity before washing any white or lighter colored laundry during this period of work.  Residents may want to wait for the water to clear before using it.

We will post further updates if there are any impacts to customers.
