Maintaining or Restoring Water Quality in Buildings with Low or No Use
Buildings and businesses being closed for weeks or months reduces water usage, which potentially leads to stagnant water inside the building plumbing. This water can become unsafe to drink or use otherwise for domestic or commercial purposes. Northborough Public Works recommends that building owners and managers take proactive steps as outlined in the attached document to protect public health by minimizing water stagnation during closures and taking action to address building water quality prior to reopening.
Sincerely,
