Phase I Transmission Main Extension

The City of Lowell will be completing improvements on the water distribution system in the intersection of Varnum Avenue, Mammoth Road and Riverside Street. The work is critical to improving the reliability of drinking water throughout the City.

Construction will begin in mid-June and is expected to last approximately six weeks. This work may cause intermittent disruptions in water service to some customers and some customers may experience short periods of discolored water. Customers will receive advance notice of a planned disruption in water service. If you have any questions, please contact the Lowell Regional Water Utility at (978) 674-4240.  Thank you for your patience and cooperation with this essential improvement.
