Barre city officials said a major water leak erupted at around 6 p.m. on Nelson Street.
They said city water department crews were notified and were working on the issue.
The repairs could last between eight and 12 hours.
They said the duration of the repair depends on how long it takes to find where the break exactly happened.
The city warned residents that water service could be impacted to those on the northeast side of Barre, including Nelson, Camp and Cassie Streets.

The city said water may be cloudy once water service returns.
If that happens, they said residents should let the water run until clear.
