To the residents of Brookfield and the Brookfield water customers, the Water Commissioners unfortunately has to report to you that on Friday 12/19/25, the Commissioners received a letter of resignation from Dennis Clarke the Water Superintendent, effective as of Friday January 2, 2026 at 3:00 PM.

Dennis has been our Water Superintendent for almost seven (7) years, and in that time he has dedicated his attention on providing exemplary water service to the town, which has been recognized by Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MA DEP) for its outstanding operation of a public drinking water supply system operations. Dennis has been a Water Department employee who has always been ready, willing and able to help or assist any town department. His attitude, attention to detail, dedication, knowledge and physical help, will be sorely missed in Brookfield.

As far as the Water Department is concerned, the Water Commissioners are working diligently to insure that our system continues to be operated and managed in a professional manner with no interruptions in customer water services. I would like to thank Dennis for his service, for his knowledge and caring for the Town of Brookfield. It has been a please to work with him and we wish him the very best in his next job.

Donald R. Taft
Chairman, Brookfield Water Commission
