Update on Mt. Nebo Water Tower: The town’s maintenance project on the Mt. Nebo Water Tower is complete and the tank is being gradually refilled. This process may disturb some debris, resulting in discolored water in homes in the area of the Mt. Nebo Water Tower. Residents who experience discolored water are advised to run the cold-water spigot until it runs clear. The town began the process of gradually filling the Water Tower on Dec. 3, and this will take several days to complete.

MATTAPOISETT The Massachusetts Department of Transportation has announced that the town will be receiving $237,849 to create new connections to the Mattapoisett Rail Trail bike path and provide a safer route to Old Hammondtown School and areas of employment in Fairhaven.
