Water Main Break

A broken water pipe burst open Wednesday April 29, 2009. This caused homes and businesses on the East Side of the bridge to lose water. The entire town was put on a water boil notice, to prevent being exposed to contamination which may have been released into the water due to the break. The boil notice was lifted Friday afternoon May 1st after test results taken from the water came back negative for contamination. It remained lifted until Monday May 4th when the boil notice went into effect again to allow for repairs to the pipe. The ban was lifted again on May 6th at 1 am when the repairs to the pipe were finally complete. Businesses and homes suffered from this break, but the town is now looking into solutions in case these type of problems were to arise again.
