Emergency Water Main Work Set for Charles Street Monday
The Malden Engineering Department and M.T. Mayo Corp. begin water main installation on Charles Street and Charles Street Place at 8:30 a.m. Monday, with an eight-hour service shutdown anticipated and the possibility it runs longer. There will be no access in and out of Charles Street Place between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., so residents are asked to park on Charles Street or other side streets. Work may shift to the following day in the event of rain; once service returns, run cold water through an outside faucet or tub for several minutes to flush the lines, and call Engineering at 781-397-7040 with questions.
