Hydrant flushing is scheduled to start on March 29, 2010. Flushing removes sediment from the water mains, identifies hydrants in need of repair and checks system fire flows. The work will be conducted on weeknights from 9 P.M. until 1 A.M. to minimize the disruption to our customers. Many customers will have rust-colored or black water while the water mains are flushed and for a period afterwards. We apologize for the inconvience. Click here to view the schedule.

The Topsfield Composting Center will reopen for the season on April 3rd. The Composting Facility is located at the Public Works Facility on Boston Street. There is a fee to drop off leaves and yard waste. Residents can go to the Selectmen's Office in Town Hall and purchase a Compost Access Ticket for $5.00. Each Ticket will allow the disposal of up to 2 cubic yards (a standard body pick up truck) of material per visit. Each visit will require a separate access ticket.

The Compost Center is open and staffed on Saturdays from 9 AM to 1 PM only. No weekday drop-off is permitted unless prior arrangements have been made. Any additional information can be obtained by calling the Highway Dept. at 978-887-1542.
