The Developer Toll Brothers, through their Contractor East Coast Construction, will begin water main installation in Wareham Road (Route 6) from the intersection of Point Road to the entrance to the new Toll Brothers Development, Marion Pointe, located at 78 Wareham Road, on Monday August 18th, 2026. Work is scheduled to pause for the winter months around mid-November 2026, and will resume in the spring of 2027. Schedule and completion of all work is subject to change due to weather conditions and unforeseen circumstances.

Every effort will be made to minimize inconvenience to residents and motorists, but through traffic can expect delays and should seek alternate routes when possible. Driveway access for residents within the work area will be maintained throughout the project, though there may be small delays. As always, please slow down and use caution while traveling through construction areas.

Advanced notice of planned water main / water service shutdowns will be provided to residents/businesses in the area. However, please note that temporary unannounced disruptions in water service due to the construction activities may occur. In these rare situations, it is not uncommon to experience low water pressure or discolored water during construction. If you experience discolored water, please run the cold water tap until it clears. The Water Department will make every effort to restore water service as soon as possible.

Please contact the DPW should you have any questions: (508) 748-3540 Monday – Friday 7:00AM to 3:30PM. For emergencies outside of the regular DPW office hours, please contact the Police Department and they will relay any concerns to the appropriate Town Department: (508) 748-1212. Your patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated.

Smoke from Canadian wildfires is impacting air quality in Massachusetts. This creates hazy conditions and raises fine-particle pollution levels in some areas. Poor air quality can have significant adverse effects on sensitive groups. This includes children, older adults, pregnant people, and those with chronic medical conditions. It also affects people who are active outdoors.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health offers resources on wildfire smoke and air quality. Please check these resources. Share them with patients, residents, and community partners when needed.

Wildfire smoke safety tips:

Monitor local air quality and follow public health and air quality advisories
Limit outdoor activity and strenuous exercise when air quality is poor; move activities indoors when possible

Keep indoor air cleaner by closing windows and doors, setting air conditioning systems to recirculate, and using high-efficiency (HEPA) air filters when available

Avoid activities that increase indoor particle levels, including smoking, burning candles or incense, frying or broiling food, and using non-HEPA vacuums

Follow medical guidance if at greater risk for asthma or other health concerns

Keep medications available, and contact a health care provider with concerns

Have a supply of N95 masks, learn when and how to use them, and practice having your child wear small N95 or surgical masks

Seek immediate medical care for chest pain, chest tightness, severe shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing.

Wildfire smoke resources:

Climate Fact Sheet: Wildfire Smoke – Provides information on health risks, populations at increased risk, and steps to reduce exposure during wildfire smoke events; available in 15 languages.

Climate Fact Sheet: Poor Outdoor Air Quality – Provides information on health risks, populations at increased risk, and steps to monitor air quality and reduce exposure; available in 15 languages.

Asthma Prevention and Control – Provides information on reducing asthma symptoms through effective care, environmental improvements, and disease management.

AirNow – US Government resource that provides comprehensive air quality data for your local area as well as state, national, and global views. Use its interactive Fire and Smoke map and color-coded Air Quality Index (AQI) to track conditions and make informed health decisions during smoke events.

Wildfires - Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Units – Provides guidance on wildfire health risks and steps families, schools, and communities can take to protect children before, during, and after wildfire smoke events.
