Milford Water Company continues to take bacteria samples throughout the system weekly and all of the samples have come back clean/negative. We are also continuing to monitor our chlorine levels on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and these levels are remaining consistent. You may see our staff collecting water from hydrants.

The new roof for the Congress Street Tank is moving forward and is now in the design phase. The Solar Bee mixing system has been chosen to be installed in the storage tank to help with water quality and icing issues. Due to the weather and some other upgrades that will be needed the completion has been pushed out to the middle to the end of February. From time to time you may see some workers on site doing prep work.

Recently bids went out to conduct a Pilot Study for the upgrades to the Dilla Street Treatment Plant. We expect to have the contract awarded before the Holidays.
