Work is now underway on King Street to replace the aging water main. Residents and those using the schools, Band Hall and Lions Arena should be aware of potential traffic delays while this work is ongoing. Residents should also be aware that temporary disruptions to water service will occur. While the Town of Parrsboro will make every effort to alert residents that their water may be unavailable, water customers should be prepared that a unexpected disruption could happen during the construction period.

Soon the Band Stand will be back, and better than ever...
