Administration At Highway Dept. To Work Remotely After Confirmed Case Of Covid

Smithtown NY:  In an effort to protect both the community and town employees, Highway administration personnel will be working remotely for the next two weeks. This comes after a confirmed case of COVID-19 was reported over the holiday weekend. This is a standard part of the town’s Coronavirus protocols, geared at preventing further spread. Currently calls are being answered by Highway dispatch. However, given the normal volume of calls, it is likely that residents may experience a delay in some services. We ask that you have patience during this period as we work vigilantly to protect the community. 

Seasonal reminder: While leaf bags are still being picked up, brush (branches, tree limbs etc) should not be placed at the curbside at this point in the season. Additionally, given the higher volume of leaf and brush collection this year, residents are reminded to place bags on top of the sidewalk and not along the road. This can help to prevent flooding or ponding in both residential and commercial areas.
