Water Quality Notice

Due to some well and treatment operational issues, the Ayer DPW Water Division has increased the chlorine level in the Town water. You may notice an increase in chlorine taste and smell in the water and there may be some discoloration. The water is safe to drink. You may want put some water in a container, vigorously shake it to “off gas” the chlorine and put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. A filter pitcher or faucet filter will  also remove the taste.

We are working hard to get our water supply back to normal operations but with the higher summer demands and on going maintenance issues, it is taking longer than expected.

We apologize for this inconvenience. Please call the DPW at 978-772-8240 if you have further questions.
