Many Missed Royalton Boil Water Order.
Cross-contamination was unlikely because the new sewer line was not yet active, but a boil notice was required anyway, they said.
South Royalton residents offered mixed reviews of town officials’ efforts to get the word out, with some business owners saying they wished they had been directly notified by the water district.
Officials at some of the town’s major institutions said they had received direct notice, however.
“They’ve let us know what’s going on,” Dean Stearns, principal of the South Royalton School, said in a phone message Wednesday.
“South Royalton School seems to be coping with the need very well,” Stearns said, noting that potable water jugs were set up by all school drinking fountains and that the school had received donations of drinking water from residents.
Over at Vermont Law School, spokeswoman Maryellen Apelquist said the Royalton Water Department had directly notified the school, which shared the order with all students, faculty and staff.
Royalton Selectboard members on Wednesday said they had heard of the boil water notice just before their scheduled meeting on Tuesday, but said supervision of the water district was not their purview.
But later that evening, he followed up by email, saying a water district official had called to notify him, she said.
“I have to make an assumption that they called all the users, but if there’s an issue I didn’t know about it,” Conrad said, adding that the Prudential Committee, not the Selectboard, oversees the water district.

Sutherland residents should boil their water until further notice to remove any potential contamination, after lightning shut the water pumps down around 7:30 a.m. Saturday.
The lightning tripped an electrical breaker, shutting off the village pumps was well as the automatic alarm that notifies authorities when the pumps go off, village maintenance superintendent Jason Lashley said.
Lashley the water tower continued to supply homes and businesses for many hours and no one realized the problem Saturday.
Whenever a water system is shut off and then restarted, harmful bacteria can possibly be dislodged from the system’s pipes and endlines, and the bacteria could mix into tap water.
On Sunday morning, Lashley also turned on all the village’s fire hydrants to flush the lines, another precaution, with help from the Sutherland Volunteer Fire Department.
He also prepared to chlorinate the water.
Water samples will be taken Monday to be tested at a state certified laboratory, to make sure no harmful bacteria is present.
Lashley said it could be Thursday or later before the boil water advisory for Sutherland is lifted.
