WATER MAIN FLUSHING NOTICE

The Cotuit Water Department will be flushing water mains (weather permitting) from: March 15 – June 16, 2023

9 AM – 4 PM Monday through Friday

Water main flushing is part of a preventive maintenance program being undertaken by the Water Department to ensure that water quality is not being compromised.

Discoloration of the water may occur. This is an unavoidable effect of flushing, with an aesthetic value only, and is not considered a health hazard. The water should clear after a short period of time.

Signs will be visible in flushing areas. Residents in these areas are advised to refrain from laundering between 9 am and 4 pm and to set water aside for drinking and cooking purposes.

All village residents are advised to check water clarity before use, while this program is in operation, as water lines outside the flushing area could be affected.

Flushing locations will be posted daily on cotuitfiredistrict.org and on Facebook at facebook.com/Cotuit-Water-Department. Please call Cotuit Water at 508-428-2687 with any questions.

Town Tax Rate

As required by State law, the Assessor’s set the FY2023 values by analyzing arm’s length sales that occurred in calendar year 2021. The average residential parcel saw a value increase of approximately 27% from FY2022 to FY2023 as reflected by the strong 2021 real estate market. This does not mean a 27% increase in the average tax bill. The increase in parcel value equated to a significantly lower residential tax rate.
