BOIL WATER NOTICE LIFTED

Greetings Lyndonville Water Customer:

WSID No. VT0005040

Re: Boil Water Notice Lifted

A Boil Water Notice was issued on March 14, 2025. Since then the problem has been corrected. Bacteriological samples have been collected from representative site(s) of the affected area and tested. The test results were satisfactory, and it is no longer necessary to boil the

water.

The Town of Lyndon thanks you for your patience and for your water conservation measures you followed. If you have any questions, please call Charlie Taylor at (802)626-5939.

Business Emergency Gap Assistance Program (BEGAP)

Following July’s devastating floods, we once again find ourselves facing the immense challenge of rebuilding in communities across our state. With over 300 businesses reporting damage to 211, the Emergency Board has approved $7 million for rapid relief via the Business Emergency Gap Assistance Program (BEGAP).

The BEGAP portal will reopen soon, and applications will be considered on a rolling basis until all funds are expended. An additional $5 million is also available for ongoing recovery from the 2023 floods. We will be reaching out separately about those supplemental funds.
