Water shut-off in Gilford on Thursday: here’s where to get water if you’re impacted

InnServices Utilities Inc. has scheduled a water-shut off in Gilford from 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 26 to 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 27.

During this time, operating staff will conduct necessary maintenance on the Bradford transmission line, states InnServices Utilities Inc. 

“To ensure the safety of our workers, water pressure will need to be lowered. These repairs are necessary to avoid the instance of a possible failure in the water line,” InnServices Utilities Inc. said. 

During this time there will be little to no access to water. There will be reduced pressure in the system to allow enough water for toilet flushing. It is imperative that water is not used in excess as it will strain the system and could cause complete failure to all residents. InnServices Utilities Inc. recommends impacted residents fill containers ahead of time to have extra water on hand during the shut off. 

InnServices will be providing bottled water to impacted residents. It will be available for pickup at the water plant located at between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 25 and Nov. 26. There will be a limit of two cases per household, and proof of address will be required.

When water is restored you may experience air in plumbing or discoloration in water. InnServices recommends running your cold taps for a few minutes to flush out any sediment which may have accumulated within your water service line and any air trapped in the line. It’s recommended you don’t use the water until the discoloration is gone.
