We had a spectacular day for our annual Touch-The-Trucks event! More than 1300 people attended the annual event and were able to explore more than 30 pieces of equipment in celebration of National Public Works Week. The Rhythm Room added a special beat to the fun with their amazing drum demonstration and interaction with the children.

The children enjoyed having the opportunity to sit in the driver’s seat and discover what the world of DPW, Fire, Police, Construction, Trash/Recycling, Electric, Recreation, the Bristol County Sherriff’s Office Mobile Command Unit trucks are like. The staff was most welcoming and patient explaining details of the trucks and allowing excited parents and children to safely climb aboard.    They were able to see, touch, interact with and learn about special vehicles and big trucks and their functions.

We would like to extend a big thanks to the DPW, North Attleborough Parks and Recreation, Fire, Police, School, Electric  and Landfill Departments, the Bristol County Sherriff’s Office, Above Grade Construction, Boro Sand & Stone Corporation, Cryan Landscaping,  Waste Management and Achin’s for bringing their sparkling clean trucks, cruisers, fire engines, mobile command unit, buses, race car, specialized equipment and more.  We would also like to thank the Rhythm Room for their participation and energizing our event with their amazing skills.

We are also so very grateful to all the volunteers who worked tirelessly on a beautiful day to make sure everything ran smoothly. We hope you enjoyed the sixth annual Touch The Trucks event and look forward to hearing about your experience and how we can make it even bigger and better for next Spring.

The North Attleborough Public Works Water Division will begin flushing fire hydrants Tuesday, April 16, 2013 (Tuesday–Thursday for the first week) and continue for approximately ten weeks (Monday–Thursday).

Flushing will begin in the Kelley Blvd. section from the Attleboro line to the Plainville line (Route 152), the Cliffs area and the Industrial Park.  Flushing will be done from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. This schedule is dependent on weather conditions. 

This maintenance activity is being performed to maintain water quality throughout the system. Minor discoloration of water may result in the areas where flushing operations are occurring.  Residents should refrain from doing laundry if discoloration of the water is observed. If you experience discoloration, run your cold water until the water clears. This may take several minutes.  If the discoloration does not clear, please contact the Water Division.  While flushing operations are occurring, there may be pressure fluctuations in the adjacent neighborhood. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our residents.  Should you have any questions, please call the Water Division at 508-695-7790.
