On Monday, November 3, 2025, the entire Public Square, will have its water service shut off from 8:00AM until 3:00PM, to allow for a tie over to the new water line. A boil order will be in effect for this area until 3:00PM, Wednesday, November 5, 2025.
When a boil order is in effect, we ask all who are affected to boil their cooking and drinking water for three (3) minutes before being consumed.
It’s time to change the clocks again.
Most in the U.S. adjust their clocks backward and forward by an hour twice a year — in the spring and then in the fall.
The time to “fall back” is upon us and to end daylight saving time. Clocks will be adjusted from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Sunday, November 2, 2025.
Sunrise and sunset will be about an hour earlier starting on Sunday than the day before. There will be more light in the morning.
Daylight saving time will return on Sunday, March 8, 2026, and time will spring forward 1 hour.
