Pringles St. and Liberty Ct. has been lifted. Laboratory sampling confirms that water quality has been fully restored. You may return to normal use of your water service.

Boil Order DATE: March 29, 2024 AFFECTED AREA: 500 block of East Washington St., East to East Side Health & Rehabilitation Center. This includes Washington Ct. Pringles St. and Liberty Ct. (see attached Map) At about 10:00 AM on March 28, 2024, the City of Pittsfield water system in the affected area lost pressure due to a water main break repair. This caused the affected area to lose volume and fall below the 20 Psi threshold. The BOIL ORDER will remain in effect until laboratory sampling confirms that water quality has been fully restored. You will receive notification at that time. Bring tap water to a rolling boil, boil for five minutes, and cool before using. Or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and preparing food until further notice.

The city has a water main break along E Washington just West of the nursing home Customers in that area may experience low water pressure until repairs are completed. We have a crew on the way to make the needed repairs.

City Hall will be closed March 29, 2024.
