Shoutout to BWSC for a spectacular job cutting Worcester Square over to the mainline along Harrison Ave!

EVERSOURCE UPDATE:
Because nothing goes according to plan, Worcester Square continues to be powered by the temporary generator in front of #30. The unspecified snafus have created an open-ended timeline for the work to be completed. Until it’s finished, rely on other devices for keeping time.

WATER REMINDER:
If you received a notice from Boston Water and Sewer on your door…

…Tomorrow from 9am until 4pm, expect water interruptions as BWSC connects the water line on Harrison Ave back into the main line.
