Crews working to fix two water main breaks in Brattleboro

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (WCAX) — The Brattleboro Department of Public Works is responding to two water main breaks, one near the intersection of High and Green streets, and the other at Fuller drive and Pine street.

Residents throughout Brattleboro may experience low water pressure, a temporary loss of water service, or discoloration for several hours as crews isolate the affected water mains and begin repairs, the town said.

Currently, there is no indication that the water is unsafe to drink. Crews will continue to assess the situation and notify the public if additional precautions become necessary, according to the town.

Residents experiencing discolored water should allow their cold water to run until it becomes clear before using it.

Green Street will be closed near the site of the break. Traffic will be able to travel along High Street, but motorists should use caution and avoid the area if possible.

Additional updates will be provided as information becomes available.
