An unprecedented number of breaks and leaks in Middlebury water mains prompted the town to extend its boil water order into the Industrial Park on Thursday. Everyone is asked to conserve water.
Around 300 Middlebury properties are under a boil water notice after a high-pressure wave traveled through the water system, causing breaks at weak points in the lines.
A leak in a water service line last Saturday flooded Middlebury Union Middle School, and classes resumed on Wednesday, Jan. 3.
