Town Water System - Update

Town Water System - Update

The Town water system experienced a surge three weeks ago that has caused repercussions throughout the distribution area. Public Works believes that the surge caused a high-pressure wave to travel through the system, causing breaks at weak points in the lines. The water system has experienced eighteen breaks since the initial surge, leading to our staff working extremely long hours and many properties losing water. Public Works is currently working with various engineering teams to better understand the cause and to try to limit further damage to the system.

This is a complex issue, and the Department appreciates the community’s patience as we work through this process and empathize with the inconvenience during the shutoffs. If you are having difficulty finding the necessary water you require during this time, please reach out to the Department of Public Works during business hours, (7am – 3:30pm) at 802-388-4045 or to the Police Department after hours, at 802-388-3191.
