Good morning!

I missed the Buzz yesterday. I didn’t mean to, but Friday got away from me and I didn’t end up being able to get a nice story together like I usually do for you on Saturdays. So this sterile rundown of the events in the upcoming week will have to do.

I did, though, post this announcement for the BCAT Annual Meeting and Appreciation Awards. Excited for this on 6/24!

Also, there have been various complaints about the smell of the water in town over the last few weeks. Yet it doesn’t seem like the DPW has heard much about it. If you have water that smells like - I don’t really know how to describe it - dirt, or mildew, please call the DPW and let them know. I have seen lots of chatter about it on social media, but the DPW can’t do anything about it if they don’t know about it! Their number is (781) 270-1670.

One possible reason could be from an emergency water main break near where you live. When any unplanned change in the water flow in the system happens it will cause everything to change. Which can upset the normal flow stirring up sedimentation that collects in the pipes. The Water Department does an annual controlled flushing process every spring. Which will remove some of that sedimentation. If things continue to occur call the DPW and let them know, like you said.
