Mayor Michael Lavorata is pleased to announce that the Village of Lindenhurst will be  hosting our 16^th Annual Halloween Family Fun Day.  This year the Village will once again provide a day of safe family-oriented Halloween fun featuring face painting, entertainment, games, hay ride, horse/pony rides, and a hot dog and beverage to all  children free of charge.  The event will be held on Saturday October 21, 2017 from 1:00 pm until 2:30 pm. at Lindenhurst Village Park at Fellers Pond off Charles Street.  Deputy Mayor Maryann Weckerle said “the last sixteen years of Halloween Family Fun Days have been overwhelmingly enjoyed by all involved so I hope to see you at the event.”

Mayor Michael Lavorata is happy to announce that the Village of Lindenhurst has recently purchased a Vacuum Cleaning Truck.  The Vacuum Truck is used by the Lindenhurst Department of Public Works for cleaning storm water drainage lines, drainage basins, and culverts to ensure effective positive water flow.  Mayor Lavorata said, “Storm water vacuum cleaning is a cost effective method of removing the dirt, grit, and other debris that can build up and result in partial or complete interruption of leaching and storm water flow.”   The Vacuum Truck uses high pressure water while simultaneously vacuuming back flushed debris and water from the catch basin or manhole into an enclosed and sealed collection body.  Pictured here at the vacuum truck is (l-r) Department of Public Works employee Frank Gandiosi, Village Administrator Douglas Madlon, and Mayor Michael Lavorata.

The Village of Lindenhurst is making concerted efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of our residents. As part of this effort, Mayor Mike Lavorata and the Board of Trustees will be hosting a Hurricane Awareness Forum for our residents. The forum will be held at the Rainbow Senior Center on August 17, 2017 starting at 7:30 PM. All residents, and especially those living south of Montauk Highway who were so severely impacted and still recovering almost five years later, are invited to attend. [Read more…]
