2017 Seasonal Water Turn-On Update (3 April 2017)

HERE WE GO!

3 April 2017
 
Judging from the telephone calls we have been receiving from our seasonal customers there appears to be great interest from our snowbirds to return to the Boothbay region.  As of now there remains several inches of snow on the ground with evening temperatures well below freezing, making startup of the seasonal system a challenge.  Our distribution division crews are inspecting their specific seasonal water service routes for winter damage and are in the process of making repairs to the system.

Once the seasonal distribution system has been inspected with obvious repairs completed, our licensed water utility technicians will begin flooding and flushing the distribution system, repairing any further leaks discovered,  disinfecting the distribution system with chlorine, flushing the system again, testing the water mains to ensure they are free of pathogens and then establishing our nearly 2,000 seasonal water services. It is a big job that has been compressed into a short amount of time due to this years weather.   Seasonal Water Service will be established by 1 May 2017.

Below is our seasonal water service matrix, please check daily to track our progress in bringing you water service.
