The Town of Manchester Water Department is in the process of making upgrades to the Globe Hollow Water Treatment Plant. Due to these upgrades, the annual water main flushing program will be moved to Fall 2025.
The Off-Main Experience launched last year, is returning again to Purnell Place on Thursdays throughout July from 5:00PM-8:00PM (July 7, July 14, July 21, July 28). Off-Main Experience is a collaboration between two of Connecticut’s placemaking experts, RiseUP for Arts and Blue Haus Group along with the Downtown Manchester Special Service District.
Last year’s event hosted over 15 vendors and 7 live painting exhibits while providing an immediate benefit to local businesses. Urban Lodge Brewing reported that on evenings with the event, the brewery roughly doubled their sales.
