Hauppauge Round-Up: Water Testing And Traffic

HAUPPAUGE, NY — Before we delve into what's going on in Hauppauge, here's a message from Supervisor Edward R. Wehrheim:

"This time of year, we are reminded of all we have to be grateful for. Here in Smithtown, we have a proud tradition of giving back to those less fortunate. Over the last week, I’ve witnessed many selfless acts of kindness, starting with members of the Town Council joining with local organizations like Heros 4 Our Heroes handing out over 800 turkeys to local U.S. Veterans. The American Legion Riders Post 1244 drove their motorcycles all around Smithtown and Huntington on Saturday, surprising local Veterans with Thanksgiving Dinners. Monday morning, our Superintendent of Highways, Robert Murphy, invited his fellow elected officials to Stop & Shop, where we helped the Smithtown Food Pantry fulfill a need to provide 200 families with a plentiful Thanksgiving dinner. There is so much generosity in this community, and I am truly humbled and grateful to serve each Smithtown resident. You will all be in my warmest thoughts as we gather to give thanks this Thursday. On behalf of the Town of Smithtown, I would like to wish you and yours a very healthy and happy Thanksgiving with family and friends."

Here's what Hauppauge residents should know:

The Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA) will be conducting Water Flow Tests at various hydrant locations along Frowein Road. Residents may experience temporary rusty water conditions during testing. The potential for additional testing on surrounding streets may be required, based on testing results.

Traffic Safety is awaiting the delivery of the Mast Arm for the traffic signal at the intersection of Marcus Avenue and New Highway. Highway and traffic safety teams have added new trees and plantings to place around the area of the intersection work.
