PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The city's annual city road cut moratorium will be in effect from Nov. 24, 2023 to March 15, 2024.

  • Trench Permit
  • General Permit – To excavate in the city right-of-way
  • General Permit – Connect to water, sewer, storm main (unless connection can be made without excavating in the city right-of-way
  • General Permit – Repair/Replace an existing water, sewer, drain connection.
  • General Permit – Kill or discontinue water, sewer, drain service
  • General Permit – Connect to street with driveway
Limited exceptions will be made for emergency work that is determined to be an immediate threat to the health or safety of a property or its occupants.
