The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) will be repairing a leak near with the Shaft 9 A-Line of the water distribution system located near South Street Court at the Mystic River in the City of Medford. The repair work is expected to start on Monday, March 17, 2025, and will take an estimated two weeks to complete.
During work hours, which will be from 9:00AM to 3:00PM, crews will be on site within the Authority’s easement area abutting the Mystic River, and typical construction noise can be expected. Additionally, while there will not be any roadway impacts, pedestrian’s within the area should use caution, and adhere to all signage located at the work site.
Important to note, water service to the surrounding area will continue to be provided while the repair work is underway. Should discolored water occur, please run faucets until water returns to normal clarity (it can take up to approximately 10 minutes) before drinking or utilizing for dishes, laundry, or other needs. Furthermore, should any water pressure issues occur, they will be resolved automatically following the repair work.
