10/6/23 Update

Members of the Emergency Management group met this morning to discuss the water discoloration issue. The department will continue to flush hydrants for the foreseeable future to help with the situation. There will still be periodic instances as the pumps turn off and on reversing flows. The town has taken other mitigating steps with pump stations to help minimize the issues.

Barring any main breaks, fires or further power outages, it should not reach the severity it did this week. The town met with its engineers today to discuss developing a plan to permanently rectify the situation. Once that plan is developed we will notify the public of the actions being taken.
