Wednesday, April 23, 2025, work is going to be done to the water line in front of the pump station here at 68 Dilla Street. This work may cause discolored water as the flow of water will be changing direction. If you experience discolored water, please refrain from using while the work is being done. It will take several hours for the work to be done and then for the water to settle. We apologize for any inconvenience while this repair work is completed.

Because of the various jobs going on in Town, the water is running discolored in some areas. It will take most of the day for this to clear up as the work has to be completed and then the system needs to settle down. Please refrain from doing laundry and using excess water until the end of the day. You should run one cold water faucet for only 5 – 10 minutes to see if your water is running clear before using the hot water and doing laundry. Thank you for your patience.
