Town Council Public Hearing on Resolution 2023-022 to Propose Borrowing of up to $6,214,000 to Finance Public Water System Improvements and to order the Referendum to be Scheduled

The Tilney Street water main replacement project will begin tomorrow, May 21, and is expected to take a few weeks. While crews are in the area, please try to avoid travel on Tilney Street to minimize impact to staff, equipment use, and access to driveways. Water service will remain active during the project until such time when the new water main is approved for connection to the Town's system. A CodeRed notice will be made at such time when water service will be affected. We appreciate your patience as we work to improve the water system. On June 2, the town-wide meter replacement project will begin. See the "more info" for detailed information. More Info
