The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has made a grant to the Dedham-Westwood Water District. Grant funds will be used to purchase a solar-powered message board. Completely mobile and run via solar energy, the mobile message board will be used to communicate important project or emergency information to customers and the community. The visual message board will also provide urgent safety updates and communicate storm warning preparedness messages to the community.
ABOUT DEDHAM-WESTWOOD WATER DISTRICT

Today, the Dedham-Westwood Water District supplies over 13,000 service connections to approximately 40,000 people in the Dedham and Westwood communities.
