UPDATE – AS OF 5/17/2021 – HYDRANT FLUSHING IS COMPLETE FOR THE TOWN.

The Milford Water Company will be starting its annual hydrant flushing program in the Town of Milford on Sunday, April 4, 2021. Flushing is scheduled at NIGHT between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. and will continue throughout the months of April/May/June/July until the entire system has been completed. Hydrant flushing is conducted to remove any accumulated sediment from the water pipes that may impair water quality.

Please run the water first before using for laundry.

Milford Water Company’s Water Conservation Policy Relative to Irrigation Systems.

As part of its Mass Department of Public Utilities Approved Rules and Regulations M.D.P.U. No.19 – sheet 13 and in response to the Mass Department of Environmental Protection’s request to develop a more aggressive “Water Conservation Policy” to help meet future demands created a Water Conservation Policy. As part of that approved policy the following reference to lawn irrigation systems is in effect and has been since January 1, 2005.

Sheet 13, Section 17 – WATER CONSERVATION POLICY

(5) Banned all new lawn irrigation systems connected to the Company supply after January 1, 2005. If a customer installed a lawn irrigation system after January 1, 2005 and connected it to the Company’s supply, the Company requires the Customer to disconnect the banned irrigation system and the Company also reserves its right to terminate service to this customer until the irrigation system is disconnected.

THE WATER CONSERVATION LEVEL

Modified Stage II Water Conservation level is still in effect for 2021

What does this mean to you as a customer?

ALL OUTSIDE WATER USAGE INCLUDING IRRIGATION WATER IS LIMITED TO TWO DAYS A WEEK ALLOCATION PROGRAM BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 7PM AND 7AM. This means that all outside water use is based on your house number, odd numbers may use water on SUNDAY AND THURSDAY and even numbers may use water on TUESDAY AND SATURDAY after 7pm and before 7am.

The Milford Water Company at this time would like to thank all of its customers for their cooperation in this matter and hope that by CONSERVING now we will not need to increase our water restriction going forward.
