WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 

Who is affected: Properties on the Waitsfield water system south of the Valley Players Theater. 

What happened: A water main leak was identified in December 2025. Because there was no surfacing of the leak, its exact location was not pinpointed until early March 2026.

Repair date: Tuesday, March 24, 2026 — expected to begin and finish in one day. Expected impact: The Town believes the leak is coming from a curb-stop valve and not the main distribution line, so no disruption to water service is anticipated. However, there is a remote possibility that a temporary shutoff may be necessary. Possible disruption: If water must be shut off, your service will be temporarily interrupted. The Town apologizes in advance for any inconvenience to residents and businesses. Boil water notice: THIS IS NOT A BOIL WATER NOTICE. However, if service is disrupted, a boil water notice may be issued and would last approximately 24 hours. Stay informed: A news alert will be posted and kept current at www.waitsfieldvt.gov. Check the website for real-time updates on March 24.
