Hydrant Flushing

The Adams Fire District will be flushing hydrants.  If you encounter discolored water due to the hydrant flushing, run the cold water in your bath tub for a few minutes until the water clears.  We will also be adding a maintenance dose of chlorine as a precautionary measure. 

Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Well 4 Pump Station Rehabilitation  

Construction of upgrades and improvements to the Well 4 Pumping Station in Cheshire, Massachusetts are being financed by the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF).  The DWSRF program is administered by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) with joint funding from the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  This project will remove aging equipment, clean and inspect the well, update the electrical system, replace the roof, and add electronic data collection, and will provide better quality drinking water for community residents and business in and near Adams, Massachusetts.  DWSRF programs operate around the country to provide states and communities the resources necessary to maintain and improve the infrastructure that protects our valuable water resources nationwide.

Work on the Interior of the station progresses.  The electric water heater and emergency shower have been installed.  Electrical work is progressing, and new LED lights and fixtures have been installed.  The skylight has been installed in the roof, and repairs to the well pump and motor are occurring.  Updates on the progress of the project will be posted to this website periodically as construction progresses.
