This is an emergency water use notification being sent by Wakefield Fire Chief Michael Sullivan and Wakefield DPW Director Rick Stinson.
The MWRA has issued a boil water notice for all its communities, including Wakefield, until further notice. There is a major water leak in a MWRA water supply pipe in Weston. All residents are asked to conserve water and to boil any water used for drinking. Water can still be used for bathing, flushing, and fire protection.
Another emergency alert will be sent to all Wakefield residents once this ban has been lifted.
Citizens with urgent inquiries can contact the MWRA at 781-305-5970.
============
Citizens,
As you are aware, a boil water order has been issued by the MWRA and the Town of Wakefield in response to a break of the main MWRA water line in Weston, MA. Wakefield is fortunate in the fact that we are able to supply the town with water from Crystal Lake, which is not impacted by the MWRA breakage. However, it is still possible that untreated MWRA water may enter the system for a number of reasons.
ACCORDINGLY, THE BOIL WATER ORDER IS STILL IN EFFECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
During this trying period we ask for your assistance in the following areas:
Please limit your usage of water for non essential purposes.
Please obtain regular updates on mwra.com and mass.gov throughout this is incident.
Please refer to the Town website for periodic updates regarding the Town’s water supply
Please refer to www.mass.gov/dep/water/drinking/boilordr.htm for information on the procedures to be followed pursuant to the boil order.
Please be assured that the water quality in Wakefield will be monitored to ensure the safety of all citizens.
