Starting May 5th, the Town of Andover’s general contractor will be replacing water mains on several streets around town (see map). Construction will occur Monday through Friday, from 7 am to 3 pm. We anticipate this construction to last approximately 5 months.

The construction may require some adjustments in neighborhood driving patterns; however, every effort will be made to minimize this inconvenience. There may be detours and delays. Emergency vehicles will not be prevented from responding to calls. There will be periodic shutdowns and potential discolored water associated with this water main work. Please report discolored water to the Water Division by email at MSDiscoloredWater@andoverma.us., or call 978-623-8707 and leave a message.
