“The Town of Stoneham will be displaying the Vietnam Moving Wall at 101 Central Street, during our Veterans Week events, as a remembrance to the 50th Anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War.
We are hoping you can pass this information along to local veterans and veterans' groups, and invite them to come and visit the Wall, while it is here locally.
Exhibit will be open 24 hours a day. A flyer is attached to this email. An opening ceremony will take place on Friday, November 14th at 10am, at the Wall. There are also 500 full size flags standing at the field, as part of the Field of Honor exhibit , which leaves an unforgettable impression, watching them wave in the wind.
Starting today, November 10, 2025, work has begun on the Jasmine-Willows Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation project located near 740 Turnpike Street (Route 114). This work is expected to continue throughout the wintertime and delays should be anticipated if traveling in this area. One lane per direction will be open at all times throughout construction. Access to all nearby businesses will also be maintained throughout construction.
We appreciate your patience during this project. For any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the engineering department. Thank you.
Please be advised, there is a water main on Marbleridge Road. Crews have been dispatched and water has been turned off in the area of the break. You may notice brown water and/or lack of water pressure until the repair is complete. If you experience brown water, please run the cold water tap until it clears.
