Short answer: cut back water use now. A 30-inch water main ruptured at the Lower Baxter Well location, and Pawling's water operators have been working through the night to isolate the leak.
The ask covers every resident: use water only for necessary tasks while the repair is underway. The notice, posted by the Pawling Joint Sewer Commission, says the storage tank level has been significantly affected, and that continued heavy use could trigger a "Boil Water" situation for Village of Pawling users and Town of Pawling Water District #1 customers.
Updates post at villageofpawling.org and on the Village of Pawling Facebook page. If the boil-water order comes, this section carries it the same morning, with the exact streets and steps.
Monday, September 7 at 7:00 PM, at Pawling Town Hall, 160 Charles Colman Blvd. Agendas post ahead of time on the town's site — and if you can't make it, the summary lands here the next morning.

"Forever Tina — A Tribute to Tina Turner" plays Daryl's House Club Saturday, September 19 at 8 PM. One night, the Valley's own world-famous room, and the "Simply the Best" catalog front to center.
The club's own calendar lists the 8 PM set with tickets on sale now through its official ticketing page. Friends who've seen tribute nights at Daryl's know the room does them right — 30 bucks of gas money beats a round trip to the city for the same show.
🤖 AI Corner — one plain-English AI thing, every issue
This week: make AI write your email in 60 seconds.
Say exactly what you want, to whom, and how it should sound — like telling a helpful intern: "Write a short, friendly email to my landlord asking to fix the kitchen faucet; polite but firm." Copy, read it once, change two words so it sounds like you, send. That's the whole skill.
Free library classes teach this hands-on — schedule in Town Hall above. Reply with questions; they become future AI Corners.
