Headline: VT Attorney General Scam Alert: New Utility Disconnection Scam
This is an important alert about an active phone scam in Vermont.
Callers claiming to be from the power company are threatening to disconnect service if money is not sent to them immediately. Some callers may ask where your power meter is located. Your power company does not make calls or threats like this – these are scam calls.
If you get one of these calls, hang up the phone. Do not call back or speak with the scammers. Call our office to report the calls, and call your utility if you are concerned about your service.
If you have lost money to this scam, contact us immediately. Our number is 800-649-2424 toll-free in Vermont, or dial 802-656-3183.
Together, we can stop scammers in their tracks. Please share this information with everyone you know. Thank you!

The contractor installed the crosswalk near the pedestrian bridge and a crosswalk warning sign yesterday (Thursday, 6/29). The only remaining item to be installed is the electrical service and control panel for the new lights. However, due to complications with a property owner, the contractor has not yet installed the lighting control panel and electrical service. Therefore, the lights will not be in operation by the project completion deadline of today, June 30. The Town is working on a solution to complete this work within the next couple weeks.
The contractor will be responsible for grass restoration until full growth is established. This will be ongoing and the contractor will be on-site from time to time to water and repair any erosion from rain events.
