• Due to ongoing construction at the High Hill Reservoir residents may experience discolored water. The water is safe, and the discoloration will be temporary. We recommend allowing the water to settle for a few hours and then flushing your service line by letting the bathtub run for a few minutes until the water runs clear.

• Contractor (C. Naughton Corp.) will resume work, installing storm drain structures on Sixth Street between Market St and Spring St. The work will necessitate the closure of 6th St at the Union St intersection.
