TOWN WIDE GENERATOR SYSTEM TESTING


TOWN WIDE EMERGENCY GENERATORS

Tuesday, November 29th at 1:00 pm

On Tuesday, November 29th  at 1:00 pm we will be testing the town wide emergency generator system.  At the beginning of the test (approximately 1:00 pm) there will be a brief power outage and then the generators will power up to restore service.  The generators will run for 10 minutes or so.  The generators will then be powered down and another brief outage will occur while we transition back to our regular power source.  The entire testing period  should conclude by 1:45, with two brief power interruptions of 5 minutes each. 

The town wide emergency generators will be in service from December 1st, 2022 to March 31st, 2023.   The generators have the capacity to provide electricity to the entire town in the event the National Grid transmission line failure, which provides electricity to our system.  In the event of a power failure our line crew will be dispatched to power the generators, which involves coordinating actions with National Grid staff to close certain circuits.  It will take approximately one hour for the generators to be activated.  The generators will then operate as long as needed.  The generators are in place to ensure that your homes are warm and lit during the most difficult months of the year.

Regional COVID-19 Booster Clinic Next Week

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, Jan. 4, 2021
Media Contact: Matthew Reid
Phone: 781-428-3299
Email: matt@jgpr.net


Towns of Cohasset, Hingham, Hull and
Scituate to Co-Host Regional COVID-19
Booster Clinic Next Week


HINGHAM — The Towns of Cohasset, Hingham, Hull and Scituate are pleased to announce that a regional COVID-19 vaccination booster clinic will be held next week for eligible residents of the four towns.

 

WHEN:

Thursday, Jan. 13 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

 

WHERE:

South Shore Baptist Church, 578 Main St., Hingham

 

WHO:

The regional clinic will be made available to residents of the Towns of Cohasset, Hingham, Hull and Scituate only. It is being put on by the Health Departments of each of the four towns.

 

WHAT:

This clinic will be providing 300 doses of the Moderna booster to residents age 18 and older. Those who received their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine more than six months ago are able to receive a booster.

Those wishing to receive the vaccine at this clinic must pre-register by clicking here. No walk-ins will be accepted at the clinic.

This will be a drive-up clinic. Those receiving a booster will not need to exit their vehicles in order to receive their shot.

Upon arrival at the site, vehicles will be directed to the check-in area and then to the vaccine point. Once the shot has been given, vehicles will be directed to a designated area of the parking lot for medical observation of residents post-vaccination.

Members of the Hingham Fire Department and Cohasset Health Department will be administering the doses.

Residents are reminded that facial coverings should be worn at all times while on site, even with residents remaining in their vehicles. Residents should bring their vaccination cards with them when receiving their vaccine.

According to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you do not need to get the same vaccine brand for your booster as your original COVID-19 vaccination. Those looking for their first or second dose of the vaccine, those looking for a vaccine for younger children, or those specifically looking for the Johnson & Johnson or Pfizer COVID-19 boosters should visit the state’s Vaxfinder website here.

Anyone with questions about this regional clinic should contact the Health Department in their respective town. The South Shore Baptist Church is the host only for the clinic, and the church should not be contacted for more information.

UPDATE COVID-19 GUIDANCE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

 

TOWN 

OF 

HULL 


UPDATE COVID-19 GUIDANCE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY January 4th, 2022

 

 

As the new Covid variant becomes more prevalent it is necessary to introduce a series of protective measures to preserve the Town’s ability to provide essential services for residents. Many Town departments are staffed with a few employees and the loss of one or two departmental staff member puts the service of that department at risk.

 

Effective immediately, there will be limited public access to the following public buildings; Town Hall, the Light Department, Library, Senior Center, Public Works, Police and Fire Stations and the Wastewater Treatment Office.

 

Members of the public are requested to ring for service at the front door of each location. A staff member will greet them and arrange for their service request to be met. Alternatively the public is encouraged to call or

use on-line services with any request they may have.

 

These guidelines will be in effect for the next several weeks and will be subject to adjustment as conditions warrant.

 

 

     Masks are required in all public buildings regardless of vaccination status

 

 

     Social distance is encouraged at all times

 

 

     Restricted entry into buildings we will meet and service at front doors

 

 

     We offer a wide variety of services via telephone/internet

 

 

     All staff will be reporting in person daily

 

 

     Board and Committee Meetings will be remote (with exception of the School Committee)

 

While we understand the guidelines may cause some inconvenience our goal is to continue to provide service in a challenging health environment. We thank everyone for their patience and we hope to return to normal operations as quickly as possible. Thank you.

 

Phil Lemnios

Town Manager
