For Immediate Release:
The water main break near Brattleboro Museum and Art Center has been repaired and water service has been restored to all customers as of 1:00 am.

Vernon St. has also been opened. Crews will be working to make temporary repairs to the side of the roadway today. There may be some traffic disruption, but everything is open.

The water is safe to drink. During the water main break, the water flows were redirected. The redirected water caused turbulent flows which disturbed mineral deposits in the water main.

Customers may experience air or discolored water, DPW advises customers to run a cold–water faucet until the water is clear. The water is safe to drink and is monitored daily.
