Thanks to the Dedham-Westwood Water District for contributing this news to Westwood Minute.
The Dedham-Westwood Water District (DWWD) will begin flushing water mains via hydrants in

Flushing operations will be conducted in Dedham for approximately six weeks, Monday-Friday, from 7
a.m. – 7 p.m., rain or shine.
Four phases of flushing will occur, including:

I am in complete support of the refurbishing and reopening of Norwood Hospital. I was working at Saint Elizabeth during this time. When steward took over our HOSPITAL group, Caritas Christie. They decimated not only our hospitals, but also two hospitals in the tiny nation of Malta.
Moderate or heavy snow showers, with a high of 38 and low of 24 degrees. Sunny during the morning, light sleet for the afternoon, ice pellets for the evening, clear overnight.
Senator Rush is correct re: the ambulatory services. One only has to drive on RTE 109/Westwood to see the number of out of town ambulances going through town at all times of the day. Then they have to get to Boston or Needham.
This is progress and I am glad to see the Select Board moving in the right direction. However, a majority of voters at last Monday's Special Town Meeting voted to recommend that the Select Board immediately cease its lawsuit against the Westwood Land Trust.
