Did you receive a red or yellow notice from the Town of Franklin Water Department ??

DID YOU RECIEVE A RED OR YELLOW NOTICE FROM THE WATER DEPARTMENT?

The Franklin Public Works Department is undertaking a federally mandated survey of all customer service pipe materials. 

Following the submission of the Towns Water Service Line Inventory to DEP on October 16, the Water Dept. is now required to send notices to all addresses/ property owners who either have identified a service material that will require replacement, or are still an unknown pipe material.  If you received a red or yellow notice from the Town, please read it carefully and follow the links at the bottom of this page for more information.  

NOTE NOT ALL RESIDENTS WILL BE RECEIVING A NOTICE.

While there have been no identified instances of lead exceedances in Franklin, we are mandated to identify and address any potential sources of lead that may exist. Our goal is to proactively replace any existing lead service lines to ensure the quality of drinking water and protect the health of our residents. 

We maintain a strong commitment to continuous monitoring, rigorous testing, and targeted infrastructure improvements to minimize lead exposure and maintain the highest standards of water safety. We encourage our residence to stay informed about our ongoing efforts and collaborate with us to establish a lead-free water system.

If you did not receive the letter and would like to see what your service material is please visit our online map here:  https://lead-service-line-inventory-townoffranklin.hub.arcgis.com/ scroll down to the map and type your address in the top left of the map.  Click on the symbol over your house to view both the utility side and customer side material. 

If you have any questions please call the DPW office at 508-553-5500.
