During the month of April 2025, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) will be conducting water valve maintenance exercises in the following communities throughout the Greater Boston area: the Cities of Boston and Newton, and the Towns of Brookline and Milton.
This work may result in discolored water but is not expected to create any pressure losses. If the work causes discoloration, residents and businesses should run their faucets until the water returns to normal clarity (it can take up to approximately 10 minutes) before drinking or using for dishes, laundry, or other needs.
