Chemical Feed & SCADA Upgrades Project

Construction of the Chemical Feed and SCADA Upgrades project located at the Cheshire Harbor Wellfield in Cheshire, at the Maple Street Tank in Adams, and Adams Fire District Office located in Adams 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 add sodium hypochlorite (disinfection) equipment to each of the three well sites, provide a new bulk storage chemical building in the wellfield, add Supervisory Controls And Data Acquisition (SCADA) via radio transmission for data to be shared between the wellfield, Maple Street Tank and District Office, 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.

The Chemical Feed and SCADA Upgrade project began construction in February 2019.  The project’s focus has been on installing the disinfection chemical feed system at the Well 4 Pumping Station and working on the electrical upgrades at the Well 2A and Well 3 Stations.  New chemical feed pumps have been installed, along with a weigh scale under the day tank (see photo above).  An online chemical analyzer is in the process of being installed for continuous monitoring of the amount of chlorine disinfection in the distribution system. .  Updates on the progress of the project will be posted to this website periodically as construction progresses.

Hydrant Flushing

The Adams Fire District Water Department will be flushing hydrants during the spring of 2019.  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.
