BRATTLEBORO-Utilities Division crews from the Department of Public Works have begun spring flushing of the town water mains. Most work will be completed by Friday, May 2, with some daytime flushing continuing through May 9.
Customers are asked to check the flushing schedule closely, as flushing causes water discoloration, low water pressure, and, in some areas, periods of no water.
