Hingham Water System has a New Name​

4/30/2020

 
By Carol Britton Meyer​
​
The transition of the water system serving Hingham, Hull, and part of Cohasset from Aquarion Water Company to Town of Hingham ownership could happen as soon as July 1. 

At that time there will be a new name -- Weir River Water System, earlier chosen by the selectmen from among many suggestions submitted by customers.

Once the town starts operating the system, the water rates will remain the same as they are now for the first year of operation, according to town officials.​ The system will run as a self-supporting "enterprise” account.

About the same amount of revenue will be collected under town ownership, but the costs will be lower because the shareholder profit requirement no longer exists, according to Selectman Mary Power.​

Town Meeting will consider water system-associated warrant articles. For more details see the Town Meeting warrant, which will be mailed to every Hingham household and is also posted on the Town of Hingham website. 
Town meeting has been postponed until June 22, although that could change.
