Hurricane Update
As I’m sure you are aware we are expecting hurricane Irene to affect us and the entire commonwealth over the next 36 hours. Boxborough Emergency Services are prepared for this significant weather event. You should tune in to your local news stations for updates on the storm track.
We ask that all citizens be off the roads and in safe shelter by this evening.
Expect possible loss of power and communication utilities associated with this storm. You should be aware that restoration of utilities will not start until the storm has passed for the safety of the utility workers.
As always; Dial 911 from any phone if you have an emergency. I must remind you that Police, Fire and dispatch are not able to give updates, progress reports or situation briefings on restoration of utilities. Please DO NOT CALL Police, fire or dispatch for utility questions.
Anyone needing shelter should contact dispatch at 978-263-3000 and shelter will be coordinated on an as needed basis.
I urge all residents to take precautions to store extra water for household use as your well water will not available during power outages. Potable drinking water is available at the fire station free of charge if you need it. You will need to bring your own containers.
