Suffolk works because we do.
Today, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the hardworking members of the DPW Sanitation Blue Unit. Their dedication and expertise recently came to the forefront when they received a call about a sewer blockage on Singingwood Dr. in Holbrook on Wednesday, November 22, 2023.
After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that the pipe had collapsed. Faced with this challenge, the team quickly gathered and devised a plan. They implemented a bypass solution, utilizing a sewer pump and running 350 feet of hose from one manhole to another along the road. This remarkable effort ensured that all residents in the neighborhood maintained their sewer service without interruption.
This operation continued for six days, spanning from the day before Thanksgiving until Tuesday, November 28, 2023. Throughout this entire period, members of the DPW Sanitation Blue Unit worked tirelessly, around the clock, including on Thanksgiving Day itself. Their unwavering commitment ensured that residents' sewer service remained intact, and traffic continued to flow smoothly.
On behalf of Suffolk AME, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all of our DPW Sani Blue members and to every Suffolk AME member who works tirelessly to keep our county operational and safe. A special thank you to member Frank Denaro for sharing his appreciation for his fellow members and providing photos.
