Winter Storm Emergencies

If there is a blizzard, widespread power outage or other winter emergency, the Town will have information available in several ways. See all the ways you can stay informed.

• Be ready for emergencies
• Make sure your cell phone is signed up to receive CodeRED emergency announcements from the Town. Find out more about CodeRED
• If you have a power outage, you can call Eversource at 800-286-2000. If you have a working laptop or cell phone, report your power outage on the Eversource website.

Overnight Parking

Overnight Parking on Town streets is prohibited between 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM, to allow the Town to plow the roads. Read more about the Overnight Parking Ban.

Storm Drains

Make sure the storm drain near your driveway is clear of leaves and debris so that water doesn't pool and freeze. If there is a problem with the drain, call the DPW at 781-274-8300.

Adopt a Hydrant

Shovel out the fire hydrant nearest your house — in an emergency, it can make a big difference.

Ice Skating

Unfortunately, because of ongoing projects needing staging space, the ice skating rink will not be put up this winter at the corner of Fletcher Street and Massachusetts Avenue.
