July 4th Sewer Emergency

Please report any concerns or sewer related issues to the DPW at 508-487-7060
or the 24 hour emergency line at 508-487-5474.

On Saturday, July 4 at 9:30 a.m. the Town of Provincetown experienced a sewer pipe break which resulted in the loss of vacuum pressure in the downtown area sewer lines. Read the Town Manager's statement.

As of 12:00 noon Wednesday, July 8th, the Provincetown sewer system is up and running 100%. The sewer system is experiencing some residual problems which continue to be identified since the final repair work was completed on Wednesday. During the weekend residents called in complaints of sewer noises and odor complaints which, upon investigation, were either private property issues or non-issues unable to be furthe r identified by workers who responded. There was one buffer tank overflow in the 400 block of Commercial Street. After pumping and the replacement of a controller and valve head no additional problems were located.

The beaches continue to be open for all water related recreational activities. Water quality tests were repeated on Thursday, July 9, 2009 on both the east and west end came back negative.

Please report any concerns or sewer related issues to the DPW at 508-487-7060 or the 24 hour emergency line at 508-487-5474.
