Fall water main flushing begins on Friday, Sept. 22

BRATTLEBORO — Utilities Division crews from the Department of Public Works will start fall flushing of the town water mains on Friday, Sept. 22 at 10 p.m. and continue work through Friday, Oct. 13.

Some daytime flushing will continue throughout the week of Oct. 6–13.

Customers are asked to check the flushing schedule closely, as flushing causes water discoloration, low water pressure, and, in some areas, periods of no water.

Water main flushing will occur during both night (10 p.m. to 6 a.m.) and day (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.). If there are questions, call the DPW at 802-254-4255.
