Boil water advisory for the east side

A water main broke under Canal Street on Tuesday, October 6. Crews repaired it that night, but pressure dropped east of the Harrow River, so the water there has to be tested before the advisory can end. We expect to lift it on Friday, October 9, once two rounds of tests come back clean.

Until then

  • Bring tap water to a rolling boil for one minute and let it cool before you drink it, cook with it, brush your teeth with it or make ice.
  • You can use tap water for bathing and laundry. Help young children so they don’t swallow bath water.
  • Free bottled water is at Fire Station 1, 210 Mill Street, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

We post an update here by 5 p.m. each day until the advisory ends.

Streets under the advisory

  • Canal Street, east of the river bridge
  • Mill Street
  • Orchard Lane
  • Quarry Road
  • Sycamore Court
  • Water Street, east of Mill Street

Leaf collection

Crews pick up loose leaves at the curb from Monday, November 2 to Friday, December 4. Rake them to the edge of your yard, not into the street, where they clog storm drains.

Town news

  • Leaf collection starts November 2

    Curbside leaf pickup runs five weeks this year, a week longer than last year, after residents asked for more time.

  • Main Street paving bids come in under estimate

    The lowest of three bids is $42,620 below the engineer’s estimate. The Town Council votes on it October 13.

  • New playground opens at Riverside Park

    It has a ramped deck, a swing built for wheelchair users and a rubber surface, so every child can reach every part of it.
