Important Information
Underground utility work may present unforeseen conditions that could affect the timing and scope of the repair. Every effort will be made to complete the work and restore water service as quickly as possible. Additional temporary water service interruptions to nearby properties may be necessary if unexpected field conditions arise. If additional service interruptions become necessary, the Sudbury Water District will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice to affected customers whenever possible.
Emergency Notification System
Sign-up to receive timely alerts and updates regarding utility projects, planned service interruptions, emergency water outages, and other important public safety notifications through the Town-wide Emergency Notification System: https://sudbury.ma.us/r911
Customers enrolled in the notification system are among the first to receive important information regarding utility projects, scheduled service interruptions, emergency conditions, and other public safety matters.
Before Work Begins
Affected customers should take the following precautions before water service is interrupted:
- Store an adequate supply of drinking water, approximately one gallon per person per day.
- Fill clean containers with water for cooking and food preparation.
- Store water for basic cleaning and sanitation needs.
- Fill a bathtub or other large container with water for toilet flushing. If necessary, pouring approximately one gallon of water directly into the toilet bowl will initiate a flush.
- Limit unnecessary water use during the outage and while repairs are underway.
After Water Service Is Restored
Affected customers should:
- Slowly open a cold-water faucet and allow the water to run until it is clear before resuming normal water use.
- If water appears discolored after service is restored, avoid using hot water until the cold-water supply runs clear. This can help prevent sediment from being drawn into the household hot-water system.
The Sudbury Water District appreciates your patience and cooperation as we complete this necessary work to maintain the reliability of the public water system. We apologize for any inconvenience this work may cause and thank you for your understanding.Questions?
