The Town of Amherst will begin its water main flushing program starting Monday, June 8, 2026. Flushing work will continue for approximately five weeks.
During this time, customers may experience turbidity (cloudy or brown water) and low water pressure.
Residents may need to run their cold water (not hot water) for 5-10 minutes, or until water becomes clear. It is recommended that you thoroughly flush your system following this time to release any trapped air or sediment from your system.
Anyone with questions about the water main flushing program can contact Town Hall (M-F, 8:30-4:30) at 902-667-3352 or
