WATER MAIN FLUSHING

The Blackstone Water Department will begin flushing the water mains on April 13, 2021.

Flushing will take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between the hours of 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

Water main flushing can result in the agitation of existing sediment in the water lines. Residents may experience brown water.

It is recommended that residents check the water before use, especially prior to doing laundry. If rust stains appear on washed clothing, or fixtures, an iron removing detergent can be obtained free of charge from the Corrosion Control Facility on Elm Street. DO NOT TRY TO BLEACH STAINED CLOTHES, AS THIS WILL SET THE STAIN PERMENANTLY.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience during this project. Any questions please contact the DPW at 508-883-9331
