PROVINCETOWN – The Provincetown Water Department has scheduled the spring water main-flushing program for the towns of Provincetown and Truro to begin next Monday.
The project is expected to continue through April 25th.
The purpose is to minimize build-up of minerals and other sediments that can affect water quality, plus verify the operation of valves and fire hydrants.
There will be varying degrees of discolored water, and a reduction in water pressure. Usage restrictions are suggested to avoid staining of laundry and other potential negative impacts.
The Water Department will have a daily schedule and list of streets being flushed each day. More details can be found at Provincetown-ma.gov.
