Huntington OKs $1.6M for bridge repair

The Huntington Town Board last night approved entering into a contract with RB Conway and Sons of Bay Shore for the reconstruction of the Mill Dam Causeway for $1.6 million.

The causeway, which crosses Mill Pond between the Little Neck peninsula and Huntington Beach, was closed to vehicle traffic late last month when it was deemed unsafe by the town's highway superintendent. It is expected to be closed for several months.

The board also held several hearings on proposed local laws, including one to ban private helicopters from landing in the town, and one to allow the town to designate a home as possibly containing an illegal apartment if the building has two entrances or two doorbells. That measure, if adopted, would let the town qualify for a Suffolk County program that provides funds to combat illegal housing.

Votes on both measures are pending.

Jo-Ann Raia, the town clerk, delivered copies of the town's proposed operating and capital budgets. Public hearings on the two documents are scheduled for Oct. 16.

All ponds will create unwanted chemicals such as nitrites and ammonia. Bi-products from fish waste, dead and decaying leaves, decomposed fish food (make sure you don’t over feed your fish) decaying aquatic plants/weeds, nearby fertilizers that drain/leak into the pond all can provide nutrients for algae growth and increase the production of bad bacteria that can harm koi resulting in sickness and death. pond repair Huntington Beach provides the best solution for you beautiful pond security.
