Hingham, Massachusetts, Aug. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SUEZ today officially begins a historic water services partnership with the Town of Hingham, Massachusetts, to operate, maintain and manage the newly named Weir River Water System, which provides safe drinking water to approximately 35,000 residents and businesses in the Hingham, Hull and North Cohasset communities.
“This is a historic day that is the result of significant effort by the Town’s professional staff and a multitude of committed volunteers,” said Hingham Selectman and Water Commissioner Mary Power. “We are very pleased to have reached this point after nearly nine years of work.”
The contract with SUEZ is a five-year, $25 million partnership, with an option for another five-year extension, that will include the management of a 7.7 million-gallons-per-day surface water treatment plant, 11 water wells and a water distribution network, which includes 192 miles of main, two storage tanks and a booster system.
