Water Main Breaks To Date 2022-2023

1/18/2023

The Winchendon DPW has experienced the following water main breaks in the last year.  We work around the clock diligently to get these breaks not only repaired but hopefully prevent them from recurring.  We are sharing this information to be transparent with the residents as it is public knowledge.  Due to other unforeseen problems like roadway damage water main breaks can be quite costly and require multiple DPW crews to respond.  Over the last year we have made great improvements to the infrastructure in our town and hope to continue to do so in the years to come.
