South Main Street- Water-Main Leak Update

Town of Hardwick water users will experience a reduction in pressure and volume after 9pm tonight as our crew will need to shut the water system down briefly to repair a leak in the main waterline on South Main Street. Please plan accordingly to minimize the disruption in your household. The repair should take less than two hours once the water is shut off and service will be returned as soon as possible once the leak has been repaired.

Thank you
Hardwick Town Manager

Community Emergency Planning in Action

Following the 2023 flooding, Neighbor to Neighbor, the Town of Hardwick, OSSU, and the Civic Standard teamed up to improve our community’s emergency preparedness. With support from two consultants—Karen Horn and Cynthia Stuart—and funding from an MTAP grant through the Vermont Council on Rural Development (VCRD), a draft addendum to Hardwick’s Local Emergency Management Plan (LEMP) has been created.

🗓️ The draft was presented as part of a class in the Hardwick State framework on Saturday, April 12.
📌 Next steps include recruiting volunteers, integrating the plan with Town systems, and developing online resources.
📣 Your input matters! The draft is available for review, and we encourage community members to share their thoughts via the survey linked below.
🗳️ A final submission will be presented to the Select Board in late May.
