Water Line Break Should Be Repaired Tonight

(5:30 PM Update from the Village) Please be advised that the Village contractor has successfully installed a line-stop approximately 200 feet east of the water main break in order to stop the water flow between these two points. The repair area is now free of water and the contractor is able to access the trench to repair the water main. Additionally, with the line-stop in place, Village crews will begin opening the valves that were previously closed in order to restore water to all homes that are currently out of service. Residents will experience low water pressure initially until the water main is repaired and the Reeves Newsome Pump Station is placed back in service. The water main and pump station should be back in service late tonight. Updated information will be available on the Village website and another message sent if necessary.

Please be reminded that traffic through the Fenimore, Fox Meadow and Walworth intersection is still restricted to one reversible lane with the associated traffic delays.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as the Village works towards remediating this situation.

A portion of Greenacres and Fox Meadow has no water, low pressure or discolored water following a valve failure at the Reeves Newsome Pump Station, which is currently under repair. The line and valve started to leak Tuesday morning April 22 and despite efforts to repair it all day and night, the leak continues on Wednesday April 23. Workers on the bridge now say they hope to have it repaired by tonight. A reader who lives on Oak Way says his home has had no water since last night at 6:30 pm.

The affected area extends from the Bronx River Parkway to the Post Road, north of Butler Road to Kingston Road.

There have been significant delays crossing the bridge to and from Scarsdale where a policeman is directing traffic through one open lane.

In addition to the issues at the bridge on Fenimore Road, the county has informed Scarsdale Village that the southbound exit of the Bronx River Parkway at Crane Road will be closed for three months starting 10 am on April 26. From this Saturday until the anticipated re-opening of the exit on July 26 drivers going southbound on the BRP who wish to go to Scarsdale Village will need to exit at Harney Road and drive north to the Village.
