Water Main Breaks

During the winter months water main breaks occur more often. Broken water mains are repaired as quickly as possible. We will notify residents door to door when a break occurs or when the water will be turned off. Residents are usually not notified during night hours because most repairs are completed by morning. If you notice discolored water run the water until it clears. This discoloration is caused by natural sediments in disturbed water lines but it is not harmful. If there was any damage to your sprinkler system during the repair of a water main it will be repaired in the spring. Do not contract to have it repaired. Notify the DPW and it will be repaired by DPW crews. Sod will also be replaced in the spring. If the Public Works Division can be of any service to you or you have any problems with our services, please contact us. The DPW also has a full time forester on staff who is happy to answer questions you may have about any trees on your property.
