Faucets in Berkshire County’s smallest water district sometimes just stop flowing. The volunteers who run the Briggsville Water District in Clarksburg know what s wrong â€” but can’t yet afford the full fix, despite mandates from the state DEP. The district gets scant outside help, but plenty of reminders from the state about needed repairs. Carl McKinney, a longtime district volunteer, puts it this way: “People want government to fix things? . We are the government.” CLARKSBURG — Every week through the winter, water stopped coming out of the faucets at John Barnes’ house. Each time, he grabbed two buckets and trudged to the side of a nearby hill, where water spilled from overflow pipes located just below the spring and storage tanks that supply the Briggsville Water District.
