Village of Maybrook Board Meeting

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 at 7 pm

• Water Leaks – The recent cold spell resulted in several water leaks throughout the Village. Last Tuesday evening, the Maybrook DPW repaired a leak on the 8-inch water main on Watts Lane. However, after the repair was completed, water pressure was not restored to the towers. On Wednesday, the DPW conducted a full inspection of the distribution system in search of additional leaks. On Thursday, potential leaks were detected at the lower end of Main Street and on Palmer Court. The Main Street issue was identified as a service line leak to Northeast Steel Products, which resolved part of the pressure problem. The leak on Palmer Court was also located and repaired. Despite these repairs, water tower pressure remained weak, and residents on Highland Avenue above Broadway experienced minimal pressure. To restore service, water tankers were brought in and pumped into the hydrant at Highland Avenue and Clark Place to supply water to affected residents. Maybrook DPW Superintendent Matt Thorp contacted the Department of Health, and a Boil Water Notice was issued. The notice was hand-delivered to residents and posted on the Village website and social media pages. The Boil Water Notice remains in effect at this time. Water samples collected on Highland Avenue must meet the Department of Health requirement of two consecutive days of clear bacteriological results. We have been notified that the first sample tested clear. The Village expects notification tomorrow regarding the second sample. If the second result is also clear, the Boil Water Notice will be lifted. Updates will be posted on the Village website as soon as information becomes available. On Friday afternoon, another leak was discovered in the basement of a vacant residence on Oak Street. The basement had been filled with water. The service line was shut off, and the issue was resolved. Additionally, last Tuesday around midnight, P&N Alarm notified the Village of alarms sounding at the Maybrook Government Center. Upon investigation, a leak was discovered in the Maybrook Railroad Museum that had flowed into the basement, causing water damage. Servpro responded the following day, and cleanup and repairs are underway. It was certainly an eventful week. I would like to thank the Maybrook Police Department and the Maybrook Fire Department for their assistance at the Government Center. I also want to recognize DPW Superintendent Matt Thorp, Working Leader Kyle DiCharo, and the entire Maybrook DPW for their hard work and dedication in identifying and repairing these leaks and restoring water service to the Village.
