Good Afternoon Village on Monroe Residents,
Our Village DPW and Water Depts. have been working tirelessly since Friday August 28th, beginning at 4am, to deal with the first of three leaks within our water system along Lakes Rd. Having been at it since Saturday around 1pm, they have just completed all the repairs, recharged the waiter mains and cleaned up the sites around 1pm this afternoon.
All residents affected by this shutdown have been notified by personnel in a door to door advisory. I additionally have the following notification for all residents affected by the shutdown as is our policy and procedure in our Water Dept.
We ask that you flush all your water taps, faucets, shower, tub spouts until clear and most importantly we ask that you boil your water before consumption until we affirm through water testing procedure and Dept. of Health clearance that this is no longer necessary. We are in contact with the O.C. Dept. of Health and have been working with them in following all procedures we take. We anticipate clearance by Wednesday and will keep you informed through CONSTANT CONTACT, our Village Website and our Facebook page.
Should you have any concerns, questions I ask that you contact our Village Clerk for information. Should you require a callback from our Water Dept., Trustee Conklin, Village of Monroe's Water Department liaison, or myself, do not hesitate to request that.
I want to publicly thank my DPW staff, DPW Supervisor Larry Giudice, our Water Dept. staff, Supervisor Ernie Mabee on an incredible effort during these past three days.The actions taken by these men was without a doubt a testimony to the incredible work ethic, "get it done" attitude that I and I am sure all of us here in the Village and Town so very much appreciate. Watching them do the job they do, this weekend, and always makes me so proud of them.
Thank you for your patience and continued support as we clean up the projects, be mindful of the road construction which will be taking place this week.
Thank you.
Neil Dwyer
Mayor
Village of Monroe
