Water Main Break Shuts Off Water In East Somerville

A contractor hit a water main this morning, shutting off water to some residents and businesses (102 buildings affected). This CTY call will be going out shortly.............

“Hello, this is Jackie Rossetti from the City of Somerville with important information about an emergency water shutdown in your neighborhood. Earlier this morning a contractor working on East Broadway punctured a water main, requiring the immediate and temporary interruption of water service for repairs. Work is expected to be completed within approximately 6 hours.

Once service has been restored, you may experience temporary discoloration in your water, and though the water is safe to drink, residents are advised to run the water until it is clear and to avoid washing clothes, especially white fabrics. If any rust stains appear on the wet laundry, the clothes should not be dried, and you should call 311 during normal business hours to receive a free bottle of rust remover.

Our sincerest apologies for this unexpected issue.”
