The emergency roadway closure is expected to remain in effect for approximately two weeks, and we will make every effort to expedite construction efforts to reopen the road before the Memorial Day weekend, May 22, 2020.
Construction will include stringing a 4-inch fire hose across Tedder Road to provide water from an existing fire hydrant on the south side of Tedder to an existing fire hydrant located on the Century Correctional Institute campus.

The existing well is failing and water from the Town's other wells are not adequate to provide adequate water service.
