AI GeneratedCrews are repairing a fourth water main break in less than a month on Westchester Avenue in Port Chester. The repeated failures have left local businesses without water and residents frustrated. Village officials suggest inaccurate utility maps may be the cause, and Mayor Marino is coordinating with county executives to find a permanent solution for the county-controlled roadway.
This was the scene Thursday night as crews once again worked
to repair a water main break in the village of Port Chester.
This is along Westchester Avenue.
It's the fourth one in less than a month.
And I'm so upset, aggravated today like you don't believe it.
I get a lot of phone calls and I've been here for almost two hours
and it's still working to find the solution.
Village officials say it could be due to inaccurate historical
utility maps as a possible reason for the repeated problem.
But Mayor Marino says when he got the
call about this one he couldn't believe it.
Something needs to be done and a lot
of this stuff is not in my hands.
He says he wants to apologize to the residents
and small businesses in Port Chester
because he says they're the ones suffering.
We have a few restaurants on Westchester Avenue.
They don't have water. There is no pressure. There's no water.
The mayor says the work is being permitted through the county
as Westchester Avenue is a county-controlled roadway.
He says he plans on speaking with the county executive
to see what exactly can be done so this doesn't happen again.
