Watertown’s Boil Water Notice remains as officials await final test results
Watertown remains under a Boil Water Notice as officials await further test results. The city has taken steps to provide emergency water access while monitoring ongoing water quality checks. Recent samples showed no signs of bacterial contamination, but additional testing is still pending.
The Boil Water Notice for Watertown and nearby municipalities continues for now. On December 23, water samples tested negative for bacteria, offering some reassurance. However, more samples taken the following day are still under review, with results expected on December 25.
To help residents, the city has adjusted water distribution points. One trailer has been moved to the Massey Street Fire Station for emergencies. The Fairgrounds bulk water station will also remain open on the next day, operating from 7:00 a.m. until noon. Officials have confirmed that the rotating bulk water schedule will end after this. Progress has been made with state regulators. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) has given Watertown approval to lift the notice once final tests confirm safety. If the Boil Water Notice is removed, the city plans to inform residents through local media and reverse 911 alerts.
The Boil Water Notice stays in place until further notice. Residents will receive updates once test results confirm water safety. Emergency water access remains available at designated points until the situation is fully resolved.
