TD Bank is closing two branches in Berkshire County and consolidating them into existing offices.

ADAMS, Mass. — TD Bank is closing two Berkshire County branches.

The bank is closing its offices at 10 Center St. in Adams and merging it five miles away with the branch on Main Street in North Adams. The one on Main Street in Dalton will be merged into the Merrill Road branch in Pittsfield, four miles away.

"This was a difficult decision and was not taken lightly. We evaluate a number of factors when deciding to consolidate a location and make decisions that will allow us to best meet the needs of our current and future customer," said Lauren Moyer, spokeswoman for the company, in an email on Tuesday. "Customers will continue to do their banking just as they do today, but at a different location with features that provide a more consistent customer experience."

Moyer said the employees at the closed branches will be eligible for other positions and the company expects "to help many employees find jobs." Moyer said there are five to 10 employees in each branch, which it calls stores.



She added that a "decision has not been made on the future of the sites we are vacating."

Letters have already been sent out to customers. A letter to an Adams customer reads that the bank "will be moving into the existing store at 90 Main St., North Adams as of Nov. 16." The letter says the accounts will be automatically transferred to the other location.

On Monday, Adams Branch Manager James Truden confirmed the merger but referred all additional comments to the corporate office. The bank also has a branch in Great Barrington.

Flushing of Pittsfield's Water System to Begin

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The city of Pittsfield's Department of Public Utilities announces that phase 1 of the flushing of the city's water system will begin Monday, April 22.
 
Water mains throughout the city will be flushed, through hydrants, over the upcoming weeks to remove accumulations of pipeline corrosion products. Mains will be flushed Monday through Friday each week, except holidays, between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.
 
  • The upcoming flushing for April 22 to May 3 is expected to affect the following areas:
  • Starting at the town line on Dalton Avenue working west through Coltsville including lower Crane Avenue, Meadowview neighborhood, following Cheshire Road north.
  • Hubbard Avenue and Downing Parkway.
  • Starting at the town line on East Street working west through the McIntosh and Parkside neighborhoods.
  • Elm Street neighborhoods west to the intersection of East Street.
  • Starting at the town line on Williams Street, working west including Mountain Drive,
  • Ann Drive, East New Lenox Road, and Holmes Road neighborhoods.
Although flushing may cause localized discolored water and reduced service pressure conditions in and around the immediate area of flushing, appropriate measures will be taken to ensure that proper levels of treatment and disinfections are maintained in the system at all times. If residents experience discolored water, they should let the water run for a short period to clear it prior to use.
 
If discolored water or low-pressure conditions persist, please contact the Water Department at (413) 499-9339.
 
Flushing is an important operating procedure that contributes significantly to the maintenance of the water quality in the water distribution system.
