2023 Spring System Flushing for Brewster

System flushing for the area of town roughly west of Underpass and Foster Roads will begin Tuesday, March 14.   The first area to be flushed, Phase 1, will be from the standpipes at Rt. 137 Northwest to Rt. 124 and the Harwich Town Line.   The roadways involved are Rt. 137 to 6A; 124 to Harwich line; Rt. 6A and Lower Rd to Dennis line, including all side streets.   There are four additional phases to complete flushing maintenance for the west side of town.  A rough estimate for completion is 8 to 10 weeks.

The Water Department will flush during the hours of 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday throughout the spring period.   Signboards will be posted on the major roads in the area notifying the residents of flushing.  The Department suggests residents of the posted area limit daytime water use, if possible, and check the hot and cold water for clarity before doing laundry or for other domestic purposes.   Water clarity should return quickly after flushing has ended each day.  Some areas may be affected more than others and customers in areas immediately surrounding the posted areas may also be affected. Department customers east of Underpass Rd. should not be significantly affected by discolored water during the flushing of these phases.

We apologize for any inconvenience experienced and appreciate the continued cooperation of Brewster’s water customers in this effort to maintain the highest quality potable water possible.   If there are any questions regarding this program or if you have any water quality critical equipment, such as medical (dialysis etc.) or professional (dental or medical etc.) please call 508-896-5454 during regular office hours for details.
