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.

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

WaterSmart actually got smarter, will get better as data is collected

via the Water Department of the DPW: 

WaterSmart Update:

We have updated our water meter reading collection system and for about 50% of the Town we are now collecting hourly water readings. 

WaterSmart was updated last week with this hourly information causing high use water notifications to be sent out.  

The notifications are based on a comparison to prior usage and since there was no prior hourly usage before last week the system saw a big jump causing the notifications to be sent out.  As the data continues to be populated in WaterSmart you will be able to set your WaterSmart notifications based on this new data.  

Please track your usage over the next 2 weeks using WaterSmart and if you still have concerns after the 2 weeks please call the DPW Admin office (508-553-5500) to schedule a meter appointment. 

We encourage everyone to sign into WaterSmart, check your account, and update your notification settings. 

Go to WaterSmart to sign up or access your account ->
