Attention: Per the Panton Town Fire Warden, there will be no fire permits issued for the near future until the coronavirus issue has passed in order to minimize exposure for the fire departments if a wild land fire gets out of control. Thank you.

A Reminder from the Lake Champlain Basin Program: Please NO WIPES IN PIPES! As we work to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 spread, many people are using disposable disinfectant wipes. Whether your home is connected to a community wastewater system or to a septic system, these wipes are NOT made to be flushed (nor are baby wipes or toilet paper alternatives). Flushing wipes causes clogged sewer pipes, which can result in sewage system back ups, sewage in your home, and damage to community wastewater or home septic systems that can be costly to repair. This is true even for products that claim to be "flushable". Please dispose of ALL disinfectant wipes, baby wipes, and paper towels in your trash; only flush toilet paper.
