Subject: Water Quality & Water Conservation

DWSD ratepayers,
Many of you may (or will) experience rusty water over the next several months. I know I have! As we continue to increase the quality of pipes and upgrade the system we need to flush the pipes and refresh the systems. I thought I would offer some helpful tips to avoid turning your whites into reds! If you fill your washing machine first, check the water, and then put in the clothes it will reduce the risk. The district is offering free bottles of red-be-gone to help remedy the situation. However, please understand that we are doing our best to avoid any disruption.
If you have whites that have turned color stop by the district and ask for the red-be-gone.
Most people have no idea how much work we are dealing with to fix all of the problems we inherited. The corrosion control facility should be in place soon and this will stop the problems. Almost everyone who works at the District lives in the District and experiences the same water quality and/or problems. We hope you can understand our frustrations too.

Water conservation � we will need to restrict out door water usage this year again. The DEP actually sets the standards and quantity of water we can use. We are working on a plan to �fix� this, but the derive at this number based on many factors. We are working on a plan to build a plant and take water from the Merrimack. This will help to maintain growth and consumption.

If you have any questions on the Dracut Water Supply District please ask.
Regards George Rancourt, Water Commissioner
