            Update: 5:00pm 02/16/2025 The repair on Bay Street has been completed, and the Chief Water Operator is refilling the system. Lower-elevation system users should begin to see water service restored over the next few hours. Higher-elevation users may not see water until later this evening or into the night as DPW crews work to clear air from the system. A precautionary boil water order is in effect until further notice.

           DPW Crews continue to work on the repair on Bay Street and hope to have that completed this evening. As the system refills and users begin to get water back customers can expect discolored water and air in the system. There will be a system wide boil water notice in effect until further notice.

           DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
              Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Coliforms are bacteria which are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other; potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. When a water system is experiencing fluctuations in water pressure the possibility exists for bacteria and other harmful organisms to enter the water distribution system and contaminate your drinking water supply.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly may be at increased risk. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800) 426-4791.

           This Boil Water Notice will remain in effect until the water system has recovered and the system is able to demonstrate that the quality and quantity of the drinking water meets State and Federal drinking water standards. We will inform you when the recovery has been completed and tests show no bacteria present in the drinking water supply.

            Effective immediately, there will be a town wide burn ban for the Town of St. Johnsbury. Persistent dry conditions coupled with dry falling leaves create a high risk for rapid fire spread. In addition, the weather forecasted for tomorrow, Sept. 19th, anticipates low relative humidity, and gusty winds. It is likely this burn ban will remain in effect for several days if not longer until a meaningful amount of rain falls.

           News from the Cemetery Commission

           Some news from the St. Johnsbury Cemetery Commission:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Town of St. Johnsbury has recently assumed governance of the Centervale Cemetery. Due to inconsistent records from previous management, some burial plots within the cemetery may be unmarked or have incomplete documentation.  With this issue in mind, we are currently unable to sell lots in Centervale Cemetery.  The Town plans to resume sales in the spring of 2026.   The Town will work this fall and next spring to improve the cemetery records including all deeds distributed.  While the town now retains ownership of the land, the deed grants the purchaser the right to use the land for burial purposes and a deed is strong evidence of that right.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            If you or your family have a deed, or any documentation – like a will or trust - verifying ownership of an unmarked plot in the Centervale Cemetery, please contact the Town's Sexton, Karen Budde at 802 397-1087. Plot owners are asked to schedule an appointment with the Sexton to present their documentation and help verify plot ownership.  The priority for the Town's Sexton and the family is to verify the exact location of that plot within the cemetery.  The cemetery has rules and regulations concerning the type, size, and installation of markers, and the Sexton can guide the family through this process. The possibility of a previous, unrecorded burial in an identified plot also exists.  The Town asks that any family that is aware of an unmarked grave contact the Sexton. 
           &#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This collaborative effort will help update and maintain accurate cemetery records, ensuring proper care and respect for all burial sites within this space. Your cooperation is appreciated in helping manage and preserve this important part of the Town's history.

Work is being done at the bowling alley, resulting in the need to close the roadway to traffic in the direction from Hastings Hill/Railroad St./Rte 5 intersection to southbound traffic going toward Main St. The northbound traffic lane from Main St. will remain open.

           What is the basis for these new assessments?

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            NEMC conducted a statistical reappraisal in 2025 of all taxable property in St. Johnsbury. A 3 year market sales study (4/1/22-4/1/25) was conducted to establish new assessments throughout the community. A new assessment reflects what one might reasonably expect to receive if marketing a property for sale, based on the statistical analysis.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The last reappraisal in St. Johnsbury was in 2020 and until now, previous assessments were based on a sales study from 4/1/17-4/1/20. In no way did previous assessments reflect what market value looks like today. Our statistical analysis has proven that.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Why is the community doing a town-wide reappraisal in the first place?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           St Johnsbury was ordered by the State of Vermont to conduct a reappraisal based on statistical non-compliance. The State requires all communities to maintain statistical standards when it comes to assessment levels and current market value of property. Each community has to annually undergo an equalization process that compares sales to assessments and ultimately generates fluctuations to both the CLA (common level of appraisal) and COD (coefficient of dispersion). In previous years, a poor CLA was the trigger for a State mandated reappraisal program, but recently they have adopted a poor COD (over 20%) as the threshold. A COD is a measure of tax equity and uniformity.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           My assessment doubled. Does this mean my taxes are doubling?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           No. Your change in assessed value is now relative to every other change in assessed value throughout the community. A new baseline has been created through this process and a property’s relevance to the townwide average (between 72-75% average increase in assessment for both primary residential categories).
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Budgets have already been established during the Town Meeting process. A reappraisal program is not designed to raise more money, it’s designed to establish tax equity throughout the entire community. The primary means of taxation in Vermont is through property tax. Our goal is to equitably assess all taxable properties throughout the entire community to create fairness under the existing system.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           What can I do about this?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We encourage you to make an appointment during the informal discussion process June 18-21. If you cannot appear in person, you can schedule a time during one of those days for a telephone call or by submitting something in writing (via email or mail) prior to June 21. At the conclusion of the informal discussion process, change of appraisal notices will be mailed to all property owners with the start of the formal grievance process to the Assessor. Formal grievance hearings will take place in late July 2025.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           What are the tax rates going to be?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We will not be able to set tax rates until the Grand List is filed at the conclusion of the formal grievance process. Typically, a town-wide reappraisal process grows a grand list substantially and drives a municipal tax rate down accordingly. In this case, St. Johnsbury’s grand list in 2025 grew by roughly 300,000,000 as a result of this town-wide reappraisal. The State will be responsible for issuing an education tax rate to the community that will be based on a temporary CLA they establish.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

I am thrilled that St. Johnsbury has adopted the Department back into its' administration and is looking for ways to bring recreational opportunities for the town into the future. There are already several successful programs in the department and I am ready to continue supporting them without interruption. I am also excited to work with community partners and state funders to bring scholarship and sponsorship opportunities to increase revenue streams and build additional youth programming, adult social opportunities, family events, and infrastructure like playgrounds, outdoor fitness, and a community gathering space. I look forward to diving in and hearing more from our residents about what is on their wish lists!"

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            The purpose of the Rental Housing Improvement Program is to encourage landlords to improve rental housing in St. Johnsbury resulting in more livable, sustainable, and marketable rental units for everyone. Universal Design, energy efficiency improvements, and Fire Life and Safety improvements are strongly encouraged. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          ▪ A reimbursement grant is provided to landlords that complete capital improvement projects that result in more livable, sustainable, safe, and marketable rental units for everyone.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          ▪ The maximum grant amount is $6,000 per unit, and a budget with supporting estimates must be submitted at the time of grant application.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          ▪ A 1:1 cash match is required (e.g., a grant of $6,000 requires at least a $6,000 cash match from the property owner), and the grant is a reimbursement for funds spent.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          ▪ Grant funds must be used for capital improvements to real property. Please NOTE: Personal property, such as appliances, may be used as matching funds provided that the personal property purchased supports Universal Design Modifications and energy efficiency. Please include a detailed explanation if you are using personal property as a match.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          ▪ We recommend that all applicants have their units inspected prior to submitting the application to capture all allowable project costs in the application.
         &#xD;

           Our beloved Centervale Cemetery, a place of history and remembrance right here in St. Johnsbury, needs some TLC. Over time, leaves accumulate, trash bags accumulate, branches break, weeds sprout, and general wear and tear can obscure the beauty and tranquility of this important space.

           Town of St. Johnsbury Public Hearing Notice for April 01, 2025 at 4:30pm

           The Town of St. Johnsbury is considering the submittal of an application to the State of Vermont for an Implementation Grant under the Vermont Community Development Program (VCDP). A public hearing will be held at 4:30 pm on April 1, 2025, on the 1st floor of the Caledonia Food Cooperative building located at 502 Railroad St, St Johnsbury, VT, or virtually via Teams to obtain the views of citizens on community development to furnish information concerning the amount of funds available and the range of community development activities that may be undertaken under this program, the impact to any historic and archaeological resources that may be affected by the proposed project, and to allow affected citizens to examine the proposed statement of projected use of these funds. The proposal is to apply for up to $1,000,000 in VCDP Funds, which may be used to accomplish the following activities: planning, preparation, construction, and equipment and installation necessary to rehabilitate 502 Railroad Street, commonly referred to as the former Walgreens property. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           These efforts will prepare the site for occupancy by the Caledonia Food Cooperative to serve the community and region as a retail food co-op.
          &#xD;

            Notice from the VT Health Department
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The VT Health Department noted a recent case of rabies in two raccoons in the Caledonia County, Vermont. Please take steps to protect humans and pets from rabies.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you are bitten by an animal: wash the wound very well with soap and water and contact your health care provider. Follow all their instructions.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If your pet or farm animal was exposed to a wild or stray animal that might have rabies: contact your veterinarian. Pets should be vaccinated for rabies. State law requires dogs and cats to be vaccinated — even barn cats.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you see a wild or stray animal acting strangely, or are concerned about a rabies exposure, call the Rabies Hotline (1-800-4-RABIES) or report it to your town’s animal control officer.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Do not touch or pick up wild or stray animals – even baby animals – or try to make them into pets. Doing so can put yourself or your family at risk of exposure through a bite or a scratch. You can’t tell if an animal has rabies just by looking at it. Interacting with young wildlife may result in them being orphaned or, if tested for rabies, requires humanely euthanizing the animal. So, for their own sake, leave wildlife in the wild.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           Rabies is a deadly viral disease of the brain that infects mammals and is fatal to both humans and animals. In Vermont, rabies is most commonly found in wild animals such as raccoons, skunks, foxes, bats and woodchucks. Cats, dogs and livestock can also get rabies if they have not been vaccinated. Rabies virus is spread through the bite of an infected animal. Rabies is transmitted only when the virus is introduced into a bite wound, open cuts on the skin, or onto mucous membranes like the mouth or eyes.

          The Town of St. Johnsbury is working with Dufresne Group to identify water services that are part of the St. Johnsbury Water System that contain lead pipe. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    
          ing in your home may contain lead and could increase the levels of lead in your drinking water. These may include faucets, valves, and soldered joints. It is recommended that homeowners contact a licensed plumber and have a plumbing assessment done to determine if your in-home plumbing is a source of lead in your drinking water. If you have questions, please contact Dufresne Group at (802) 748-8605 or servicelineinventory@dufresnegroup.com.

          ad is rarely found in a water system’s surface or groundwater source but may enter drinking water if plumbing materials, such as solder or fixtures, including some made of chrome or brass, contain lead and corrode. Homes built before 1990 are more likely to have plumbing, solder, and fixtures that contain lead. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 10 to 20 percent of a person’s potential exposure to lead may come from drinking water. Infants who consume mostly formula mixed with lead-containing water can receive 40 to 60 percent of their exposure to lead from drinking water.

           Burn Ban in Effect

&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The State of Vermont Division of Forests, Parks, and Recreation has issued the following more detailed statement regarding the statewide outside burn ban.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           "After a warm, dry week and weekend and several reports of large wildfires in Vermont, the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation has issued an order for all of the state's forest fire wardens to cease issuing burning permits as of 3:00 P.M. on October 28, 2024 through 3:00 PM on November 11, 2024."
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As a result of this statewide burn ban, all reports of an outside fire will be investigated and fully extinguished. The restriction on outdoor burning is extended to all annual permit holders, and encampments. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Dry weather conditions along with gusty winds and low relative humidity coupled with leaf litter and an extensive amount of other light fuels pose a risk for rapid fire spread. Warmer weather in the forecast will cause additional drying of ground debris increasing the fire risk. Fires which may develop in the more densely populated areas of town pose a significant threat to structures.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Fire weather has fluctuated between high, very high, and extreme for all of Vermont for the past two weeks and several large wildfires have occurred throughout Vermont. We will continue to monitor the fire weather and any directives issued by the Division and update you all as necessary.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you discover an outside fire, please contact 911 immediately.

            1.	Do I need to boil my water? 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            YES- a boil water notice has been issued system wide including Passumpsic Fire District and St. Johnsbury Center.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            2.	I have discolored water, what can I do?
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           You can wait and it will clear up.  If it is still discolored after 12 hours run your cold water for 10-15 minutes.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Run the water in an upstairs bathroom for 10-15 minutes.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           4.	I have lower pressure than normal.  Response, we anticipate low pressure until tanks are full.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           5.	What if service has not returned to my house?  Please call the Department of Public Works at 802-748-4408

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Due to low water pressure encountered during emergency repairs there is a possibility that your drinking water may have become contaminated. The St. Johnsbury Water System is issuing a PRECAUTIONARY Boil Water Notice for the entire water system, Including Passumpsic an d St. Johnsbury Center Water Systems effective immediately and until further notice. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           What should I do?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            Coliforms are bacteria which are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other; potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. When a water system is experiencing fluctuations in water pressure the possibility exists for bacteria and  other harmful organisms to enter the water distribution system and contaminate your drinking water supply.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly may be at increased risk. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800) 426-4791.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

            What happened? What is being done?
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            This Boil Water Notice will remain in effect until the water system has recovered and the system is able to demonstrate that the quality and quantity of the drinking water meets State and Federal drinking water standards. We will inform you when the recovery has been completed and tests show no bacteria present in the drinking water supply.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           St. Johnsbury Secures Grant for Observatory Knob Master Planning Process, Public Info Kickoff Session Scheduled for April 24

           The Town of St. Johnsbury has just been awarded a $25,000 grant from the Northern Forest Center on behalf of the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service for the Town’s recently acquired, 119-acre, Observatory Knob parcel. Located off of Mt Pleasant St. near the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, the parcel has long been used by local residents and visitors for multiple forms of active and passive recreation and nature observation. The Town will contribute a $5,000 match to the grant to hire a consultant for an in-depth planning process. The Town already has the funds in hand from robust fundraising efforts leading up to the purchase of the parcel, thanks in large part to leadership by the Vermont Land Trust. A public input session is being hosted by the town’s Observatory Knob Advisory Committee on Wednesday, April 24 from 5:30 to 6:30 at the St. Johnsbury Welcome Center.

            The rain over night has helped improve the fire weather forecast. The current risk for Region 4 is moderate. Therefore, the burn ban is lifted with no restrictions. As a reminder anyone who wished to burn in St. Johnsbury must first obtain a permit by calling the fire station at (802) 748-8925.

           The Agency of Natural Resources has changed the fire danger forecast from "High to "Very High. Warm temperatures with dry conditions persist with low relative humidity and wind gusts making conditions favorable for rapid fire spread." Therefore, I am going to be reinstituting the burn ban effective immediately. We will continue to monitor the weather and make changes accordingly.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As a reminder, anyone who wishes to burn must first obtain a permit from the fire department by calling (802) 748-8925. Those burning must have a water hose that is long enough to reach around the fire and must produce an adequate flow of water to control the fire. A responsible individual must remain with the fire until it is completely extinguished. If you think a fire becomes out of control, Dial 911 Immediately. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The only permissible material to burn is natural wood and vegetation. Clean boards that have no paint or stain are permitted. Plywood, painted, stained, treated, pressboard and non-natural wood products are prohibited from being burned. Newspaper, cardboard and other household items are considered solid waste and are not permitted to be burned. 
          &#xD;

          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Please burn safely and responsibly.

            The Town of St. Johnsbury is accepting applications for grant funding for improvements to rental housing units in St. Johnsbury. The program's purpose is to encourage landlords to invest in rental housing properties in St. Johnsbury. This year, the maximum grant amount has increased from $3,000 to $6,000 due to increased funding from the St. Johnsbury Revitalization Fund. The RHGIP is a reimbursement program; awardees must provide a 1:1 match. The program will result in a more livable, marketable environment for everyone.
           &#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The deadline for applications is April 30th, 2023. This is a competitive grant program, and discretionary points are available for projects that align with Universal Design and/or energy efficiency.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Freezing Water Advisory 2/2-2/6
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Due to the extreme cold temperatures the Town is advising water users with a history, or concerns of freezing pipes to let a faucet drip to help prevent frozen services lines.  Although these steps will help prevent freezing water lines, they do not guarantee against frozen water service. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            RECOMMENDED STEPS TO PREVENT FREEZING WATER SERVICE:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           • Maintain proper heat levels within all spaces with plumbing including utility rooms and basements.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           • Check for drafts within the basement, especially where the service lines enter the building.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           • Open cabinet doors with plumbing along exterior walls to allow ambient room temperatures to keep plumbing from freezing.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            • Allow one faucet in the building to drip to prevent freezing of the service main. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           o Only a small amount of water flow is necessary to help prevent services from freezing.  The water should be turned down to the point where you see continuous drops and it is not a smooth stream.  To test if you are running the correct amount of water, it should take approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds to fill a 1 cup measuring cup.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Update: As of 11:15 am water has been shut off from Parker Ave to Route 18 at this time.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            There is a water main break on Concord Ave in the area of Parker Ave and Higgins Hill Water Tank. Areas affected by the break include Concord Ave, Parker Ave, Overlook Ridgewood Drive, Concord Ave and Higgins Hill.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The estimated repair time is 6 to 8 hours, and at this time we don't expect there to be a boil water notice after repairs are made.

            The St. Johnsbury Water System remains on a boil water notice until further notice.

           For the boil water to be lifted, we need to receive a passing water quality tests which takes 24 hours. We expedite the test results, but unfortunately the labs were not opened over the weekend. We anticipate receipt of the test results around noon tomorrow and will provide an update immediately.

          Due to low water pressure encountered during emergency repairs there is a possibility that your drinking water may have become contaminated. The St. Johnsbury Water System is issuing a PRECAUTIONARY Boil Water Notice for the entire water system (with the exclusion of areas listed below) effective immediately and until further notice.

            There is a major water main break at the intersection of Portland Street and Concord Avenue. Areas affected by the break are Portland Street (from Railroad Street to Carroll Concrete) and Concord Avenue (the entire length from Pleasant Street to Parker Avenue). This includes all streets off these two major roads.

The event will be led by HCH Enterprises' Robert Zarnetske.

           Water system repairs have been completed at the Leak on Route 5 and water service has been restored to the area.  Since system outage was able to be minimized by the Department of Public Works, there will not be a boil water in effect. Residents in the area of the shut down may see discolored water and we recommend running your water to clear that up.
