Water Authority Repairing Udall Rd. Water Main

When driving around West Islip, Patch cameras caught the Suffolk County Water Authority working on Udall Road in the area where a water main break was reported a few weeks back.

A worker on scene said further repairs were being made and they were planning to have the road patched by Wednesday afternoon. A more permanent repair to the road should happen in the coming weeks, the worker said.

Local drivers have been doing their best to navigate a dip in Udall Road near Best Yet that has provided a bumpy ride for many.

In addition, work separate from the Water Authority’s job was also on going on the island that now houses West Islip’s 9/11 Memorial. A worker told Patch they were testing the ground for a possible gasoline plume related to some old gas tanks underground. Patch is working to confirm this with officials and will update when more information becomes available.
