It’s that time of year: Seasonal water main flushing is underway.
“Routine flushing is required to maintain and improve water quality throughout the distribution system,” Concord Public Works said in a release.
Work will be done from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. CPW advises avoiding unnecessary water use during flushing times in your area. More information and a map are available at concordma.gov/flushing.
