Attention District Customers

As of September 13, 2019, the Adams Fire District
was served with a lawsuit, which challenged the
way the District bills Street Lighting and
Fire Protection as a fee, rather than as a tax.   
The lawsuit is still in the process.  At some point in
the future, the Town of Adams may be collecting
for these services as a separate line item on your
property tax bill, in addition to Town taxes.
The lawsuit could have an impact on the District’s
rate, at this time it is unknown. 
 
The Prudential Committee is working diligently
with the District Customers’ best interests at heart. 
Please monitor this website for updates.

Hydrant Flushing

The Adams Fire District will be flushing hydrants in May.  This is done to remove any sediment buildup within the distribution system, aiding in the conveyance of quality water to our customers.  It also identifies hydrants in need of maintenance and repair.
 
If you encounter discolored water due to flushing, please run the cold water in your bathtub for a few minutes until the water clears.
 
Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Carbon Water Filters

​As per MassDEP Rules and Regulations, the District adds chlorine to the water system to provide protection against disease-causing pathogens; such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoans, that commonly grow in water supply reservoirs, on the walls of water mains and in storage tanks.  Chlorine will be added to our system year-round, on a permanent basis. 
 
Chlorine can be removed from the water used in your home by installing a whole house carbon water filter.  These filters can be purchased at most hardware stores, including the local Walmart. 

​Contact the District Superintendent at (413) 743-0978 ext.13 with any questions regarding this matter.
