Community collaboration kept Copley Hospital afloat with water

Lamoille County and neighboring towns have certainly seen their share of rainfall this summer, resulting in catastrophic flooding, damage to houses, farms, roadways, and infrastructure, and the contamination of many towns’ drinking water systems.
For over a week, water storage tanks and daily tractor trailers hauling water have been the norm at Copley.
“While we are grateful the restrictions were lifted last Wednesday, we would be remiss in not thanking Manosh Corp., the State of Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, FEMA, and the town of Stowe for keeping our water system afloat and flowing,” said Copley’s VP of Development and Marketing Trish Rick. “The situation could have been much worse had it not been for the immediate action of Manosh who had their potable water tanker and hauler trucks at Copley shortly after the ‘do not drink the water’ notice was issued the morning of July 11.”
