Good Night, Irene
STAY CLEAR OF ANY WIRES THAT ARE ON THE GROUND
The Village Highway Crews have been out on the Village Streets removing over a dozen trees that had been uprooted and over 75 major limbs and branches that have fallen. Almost all of the Village street have now been completely cleared of debris, but repairs and tree evaluations are still necessary and will continue in the coming weeks.
LIPA currently expects that by end of the day Friday 95% of their customers will be restored, that means that many of their customers, our residents, will have their power this week.
Report an Outage at 800-490-0075
You can call the Department of Public Works at 516-354-0064 or email us at vnhpdpw@vnhp.org
