REMINDER FOR WATER CUSTOMERS!! With sub-freezing temperatures expected, we would like to remind you to please drip your faucets during periods of extreme cold. Allowing a small, steady drip of water can help prevent pipes from freezing and potentially bursting. We also recommend opening cabinet doors under sinks (especially those along outside walls) to allow warmer air to circulate around plumbing. Taking these simple precautions can help avoid costly damage and service disruptions during cold weather. Thank you!
CITY WATER CUSTOMERS: A water main broke earlier on 5th Street and has just been repaired. If you have discolored water, please run your water to clear it from your lines.
GAS CUSTOMERS!! On November 19, 2025 at 3:00 PM, gas will be shut off from Hamilton Street to Calhoun Street in order for employees to repair a line. We estimate this will take no longer than a couple of hours. Employees will go door-to-door once complete so that pilot lights can be lit.
Water will be shut off around Brown Acres Road for a repair. It will be back on shortly.
