Reason for Outage
On Thursday, November 13th beginning at 9 am, a planned street-side service pipe repair is scheduled at 47 Brewster Road. During this time, water service to Brewster Road (House Nos. 5–36) will be temporarily suspended from approximately 9 am to 3 pm. This temporary inturuption is necessary to isolate the affected section of pipe, and allow for repair work.

Please note that, as with all underground utility work, unforeseen conditions may arise, which could result in extended or additional temporary service impacts. Residents will be notified promptly if any schedule changes occur.

What to Expect
Residents and businesses in or near the affected area may experience:

  • Temporary low water pressure.
  • Air in plumbing lines.
  • Discolored water (caused by mineral sediment lifting from the bottom of the main and traveling with the flow of water).

During the Water Outage
Limit water use. Avoid using faucets, dishwashers, or washing machines to prevent air and mineral sediment from entering your plumbing system.

After Water Service is Restored
Open a large cold-water tap (such as a bathtub faucet) and let it run until the water runs clear and no air is heard escaping, this process flushes out trapped air and mineral sediment from your private service line.

Water Quality Information
Slight discoloration may persist for a few hours following restoration. This condition is not harmful and does not affect water safety or quality, only appearance. Water typically clears and returns to normal overnight.

Preparing for a Water Outage

  • Fill pots with water for cooking.
  • Fill buckets with water for cleaning or washing.
  • Store drinking water (approximately one gallon per person per day).
  • Fill bathtubs with water for toilet flushing (pour about one gallon directly into the bowl).
