WATER UPDATE: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2009, 6:00 PM
In recognition of the efforts of our local merchants to remain open during this difficult event, please continue to support local businesses. All restaurants and coffee shops are open. Cape Pond Ice is producing ice in their off site facility and distributing it to local customers. Again, please support your local businesses.
Water Supplements
We continue to receive water from Manchester, and will again begin receiving water from Rockport tonight.
Bond Hill Water Level
Water levels in the Bond Hill storage facility are dropping, therefore our need to receive water from our neighboring communities. Please continue to conserve both inside and outside water use.
Schooner Festival
This weekend’s Schooner Festival and all scheduled activities will all proceed as planned.
Summary
The administration would like to thank Stop and Shop, Shaws and Comcast for their generous donations of bottled water for the schools, Senior Center, Open Door and Pathways for Children.
Correction: Cape Ann Brewing , 27 Commercial Street, is offering boiled water to any resident of Gloucester. Please bring your own containers. Their hours are Monday thru Saturday, 11:00 am to 9:00 pm., not 1:00 a.m. as previously reported
There have been reports of possible “scam artists” in the city attempting to sell water filtration systems. Please report any of this type of activity to the Gloucester Police by calling 978-283-1212
The outdoor water ban and the boil water order remain in effect. Please note that the more inside water the citizens of Gloucester can conserve the more quickly we can resolve this situation.
