Update posted September 25, 2024
The scheduled water shut off for Thursday, September 26 has been postponed until next week. We will update you with the new tie-in date as soon as possible. We are happy to report that yesterday's Martin Street tie-in was very successful!
We have scheduled the next step in the Riverside Avenue watermain replacement project! Let's get residents connected to the new watermain.
