Town of Bristol, Vermont

🚧 BRISTOL WEST WATER PROJECT

Construction continues this week with watermain installation on Maple Street. Crews began work Thursday, June 4, and expect to be on Maple Street for most of this week.

CURRENT WORK AREA

Maple Street: Crews are installing the watermain working southward from Pine Street. The Town expects work to reach Pleasant Street by mid-week as an estimate, with construction continuing south from there. Munson may continue the watermain all the way to West Street.

PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED

Taylor Avenue: Watermain is installed. A small crew will return later for tie-ins, saddles, and service connections.

Elm Street: Watermain is installed except for the eastern 200 feet near North Street. Munson will return to complete that section later in the project.

TRAFFIC CONTROL THIS WEEK

Maple Street will be closed to through traffic block by block during active construction.

Traffic control personnel will be stationed on both ends of the street to assist local residents getting in and out.

Please follow all flagger directions and use alternate routes if you are not local traffic.

WHAT TO EXPECT

🕖 Hours: 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday

🚗 Driveway access: Maintained for Maple Street residents whenever possible, with minor delays as crews pass each property.

Questions or concerns can be directed to Greg Faust, Town Administrator, at TownAdmin@BristolVT.org.

What Is Happening?

The Town of Bristol has begun replacing aging water lines in the Bristol West area. This project will upgrade the underground pipes that deliver drinking water to homes and businesses on the west side of town. The work is being performed by Munson Earth Moving Corporation under the direction of the Town and its engineering firm, VTM Engineering.

Construction is underway. Residents in the project area will see activity on local streets over the coming months.

Why Does This Matter to You?

Old water lines can fail, reduce water pressure, and affect water quality. Replacing them now protects your drinking water and reduces the risk of unexpected service interruptions. This investment in Bristol’s water system is designed to serve the community reliably for decades to come.

What Will Be Covered at the Meeting?

Town staff and project partners will walk you through:

•  Where construction is happening and which streets are affected

•  The phasing plan — what gets done, and in what order

•  What to expect as a resident during active construction

•  How the project is being paid for

•  Your questions, answered on the spot

Who Will Be at the Meeting?

The meeting will be led by Greg Faust, Town Administrator. Joining him will be Steve Palmer, P.E. of VTM Engineering (engineer of record), Darin Revard of Munson Earth Moving (contractor), and Jill Marsano of VTUMS (water and wastewater operator). The full project team will be available to answer your questions.

This meeting is open to all residents. No registration required. Questions are welcome.

If you need accommodations to participate, please contact the Town Office at (802) 453-2410.
