The Department of Public Works notified residents Thursday morning that it was addressing a water main break in the area of Davis Road.

“Our team is working to isolate the issue,” Water-Sewer Manager Jed Fenneuff stated in a notice. He added that residents in the direct vicinity of Davis Road could experience discolored water.

Residents who experience discoloration can resolve the issue by flushing the cold water pipes in their homes. Doing so allows trapped sediments to be released.

Discolored water is safe to drink, but the town does not recommend using it for washing laundry.
