The City of Framingham’s Department of Public Works (DPW) will be conducting scheduled maintenance on the Goodnow Lane Water Storage Tank from Tuesday, June 3 through Friday, June 6, 2025.
Residents in the surrounding area may notice an increase in DPW activity during this time. Those receiving water service from the Goodnow Lane tank may also experience temporary fluctuations in water pressure, though no water service interruptions are expected. If you do lose water service, please report it immediately to the Water Department at 508-532-6050.
To support this maintenance work, we kindly ask all public water users in the affected area to refrain from non-essential water use, including outdoor watering, during the maintenance period. If you use an automated irrigation system, please ensure it is turned off and remains off until after the work is completed. Hand watering of new plantings is allowed if necessary.

- Unusual changes in water pressure

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to maintain and improve Framingham’s water infrastructure.
Infrastructure Improvement Program:
The City of Framingham continues to improve your water system for your personal and the community’s benefit.
As part of the Infrastructure improvement program the City of Framingham will be continuing the Second St utility work by upgrading about 1,600’ of water main on Second St between Taralli Terr and Waverly St as well as 200’ of sewer main on Second St between Waverly St and the Beaver Dam Brook bridge. This is phase 2 of 3 phases.
The City of Framingham’s utility contractor, Russo Bros, will be performing this work.
This work is scheduled to begin during the week of March 31, and will continue for approximately 12 weeks. If you encounter any problems due to this work or have any questions, please contact the water Department at 508-532-6050.
Eventually, Second Street is scheduled for a roadway reconstruction and sidewalk upgrades. Your patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated while we improve the City of Framingham’s Infrastructure.
City of Framingham to check Framingham’s public water system for lead water service pipes:
The federal government is requiring the City of Framingham to check Framingham’s public water system for lead water service pipes, before October 16, 2024. Out of over 22,000 properties, less than 200 do not have records with the City.
If you receive a letter, regrettably, we MUST perform an in-person inspection at your property to update the City’s records. At your earliest convenience please call the Water Service Inspection Appointment Line to schedule a water service line inspection. We apologize for the inconvenience.
If you do not receive a letter requesting an appointment, don’t worry, we have the information we need and you do not need to do anything.
