WATER MAIN BREAK

The Provincetown Water Department is currently working a water main break on Bangs Street between Commercial Street and Bradford Street. They have shut the water off in this area while they mobilize and make the repairs. At this time we do not know how long the repair will take but you can expect detours and delays in this area.

Thank you for your patience while our crew does this work. If you have an emergency this evening, you can call the Provincetown Police Department at 487-1212 to report a water issue. If you have issues tomorrow after water is restored, please call the office at 508-487-7060 and speak to Eddy Lupien. You can also email him at elupien@provincetown-ma.gov

There are 300 fire hydrants around the town of Provincetown. Your Fire Department and Water Department are actively cleaning them, but if residents and business owners are able to safely dig out the hydrant nearest their home or business, it makes a real difference in an emergency.

Thank you for your help. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Eddy Lupien at 508-487-7060 or ELUPIEN@PROVINCETOWN-MA.GOV
