Updates on utility pole work and paving were given by David Alves, superintendent of pUblic Works.

“PSEG crews are currently in the village replacing utility poles on Old Westbury Road, South Service Road and I U Willets Road as part of their program to prevent outages during storms,” Alves said. “Nassau County will be starting their next phase of paving on I U Wil- lets Road to follow with South Service Road. We are in contact with the county and they will be sending notices to all residents who will be affected during this paving process.”

He urged all residents to sign up for the village app to get notifcations in real time.

Alves went on to provide a report on the village’s Water Department crews, who have been continuing maintenance on well houses and responding to requests by Nassau County contractors to mark out roads that are in this phase of their current project.

“In this phase of the project, they will be milling and paving and our Water Department will be on hand 24/7 in any need,” Alves said. “We had instances where people hit valves in the road, [and we] don’t want to damage equipment because it’s not a village road, it is a county road. We understand that infrastructure is very old but we still need to be on top of that, and that’s why we’re going to have guys with metal detectors [and other tools].”
