The monthly veterans breakfast will take place April 7th, starting at 0900 hours at the Senior Center, 28 Mayhew Street. The menu will include a meatless alternative.

Tribute will be paid to comrades who have passed-on since the previous breakfast, and those who are on "sick call" will be acknowledged. It is a generous gesture to visit one or more of our ailing local veterans. The local American Legion post has volunteered to lead the Pledge of Allegiance, and blessing of the meal.

Please be advised that a required fire flow test will take place on Wednesday, March 29th, at approximately 9:30AM.

Crews will be conducting the test in the Hayden Rowe area. Because these tests will take place on main transmission lines, customers may notice some discoloration during and after the tests throughout town. Please avoid doing any laundry, dishwasher loads or other water use activities, during this time.

Any discoloration that may occur will eventually dissipate. Please check your water before using it.

Attached please find the Main Street Corridor Construction Advisory for the week of
March 27 - March 31.
