Senior Center Repairs

Work at the Senior Center on Golf Club Lane is progressing. According to Building Superintendent Giuseppe Giovanniello, sheetrock work is done and painting has begun. The fire alarm system was recently repaired and inspected. The kitchen counter and cabinets were delivered earlier this month. Work is anticipated to be completed in mid- to late April. The Center was damaged due to a burst fire suppression system pipe. Trustees engaged Belfor Restorations, of Ronkonkoma, to do the repairs.

Backflow Prevention and Testing

Backflow testing is required by the health department to help safeguard the backwards flow of water when a sprinkler system retracts into the ground. This device prevents contaminants such as fecal matter, pesticides and herbicides from being pulled backwards into the municipal water supply. The Village requires every home or business with an active lawn sprinkler system to have an approved backflow device and the device must be tested each year by a NYS Certified backflow tester. Every resident has a backflow test due date one year from their previous test date (from the prior year); these due dates vary from resident to resident. We would like to thank all the residents that actively test their sprinkler systems and devices in order to keep the municipal water supply free from contaminants.

Corrosion Control Study

According to H2M, the Village’s water consultant, 642 samples have been requested by residents; 640 sample kits have been delivered. H2M has also collected/returned 535 bottles. Pace Analytical completed 523 sample analyses and transmitted results to residents. Orthophosphate is being injected into the water system. The District is taking entry point and distribution sampling to monitor orthophosphate treatment. H2M will perform sampling on 30 residences to evaluate orthophosphate treatment.
