The Lead

The 30-inch main is repaired and disinfected. The water is safe. Keep conserving anyway. the village is waiting on sample results and Health Department approval to put the main back in service (2 min)

Repairs to the 30-inch water main at the Lower Baxter Well location are done, and the water remains safe to use. That is the village's own update, posted Friday, September 4, and it is better news than last week's rupture-and-conserve scramble.

One step remains before full normal service: sample results and Health Department sign-off, which the village expects within days. Until the main is back in service, the conservation ask stays in effect for Village of Pawling users and Town of Pawling Water District #1 customers. Keep outdoor watering off and stick to necessary uses.

The all-clear, when it posts at villageofpawling.org, leads this section the same morning. Until then, this page and the village's news flash page are the two places to check.

Nights Out

Free Sunday brunch music at Daryl's, and a coffeehouse night at the Dover library two low-cost ways to hear live music in the Valley this month (2 min)

Two music nights belong on your calendar. The first is the easiest on the wallet: Daryl's House runs Sunday brunch with free live music, noon to 2 PM — September 6 is on the club's calendar, and the brunch series continues through the fall. Reserve a table online if you want a seat.

The second is in Dover Plains: the library's coffeehouse night featuring the Rad Aces, Friday, September 18 at 7:00 PM, on the Dover Plains Library calendar. Most library events are free, and this room fills early.

And the big one still stands: "Forever Tina — A Tribute to Tina Turner" plays Daryl's House Saturday, September 19. The club's calendar lists the 8 PM set with tickets on sale now.
