Possible Discolored Water Notice

Shutdown of a Saugus water meter at Walnut Street and Elm Street to the MWRA system on Tuesday, June 2nd may cause discolored water for a 1-3 day period in the immediate neighborhood. MWRA is replacing a water valve. If discolored water does occur, it will result from a small amount of iron in the pipes. While safe for drinking, cooking and other uses, please note that iron will stain light colored items in your laundry, especially when bleach is used. Therefore, Saugus residents near this location should check water clarity before washing any white or lighter colored laundry during this period of work.
