At about 10:30 AM on January 30, 2024, the City of Pittsfield water system in the affected area lost pressure due to a water main break repair. This caused the affected area to lose volume and fall below the 20 Psi threshold.
The BOIL ORDER will remain in effect until laboratory sampling confirms that water quality has been fully restored. You will receive notification at that time.
Bring tap water to a rolling boil, boil for five minutes, and cool before using. Or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and preparing food until further notice.
The utilities department has a portion of the 900 block of W. Jefferson St. closed down to thru traffic while they are repairing a water leak. It will reopen with a partial lane closure as soon as work is completed.
Please avoid the 900 block of W. Jefferson St. tomorrow January 30., 2024. At 7 am the city utilities department will be in area repairing a water main break. If a boil order is needed a notification will be put out at that time.
Please stay home if you can this morning . There are vehicles slid off all over the place. Crews are out treating the roads, but it will take time. It looks like it will warm up above freezing later this morning. If you must travel, allow extra time.
Grove street is shut down between Washington and Adams to repair a water main break. The repair should be complete this afternoon and the street will reopen with one lane being partially closed
