Assemblymember John Zaccaro - UPDATE on Webter Avenue Water Main Break

Friends, 

Last night a water main broke on Webster Ave causing massive flooding, and the loss of water and utilities to many of the surrounding businesses and homes. 

This morning my team participated in an intergovernmental agency briefing outside the site of last night's water main break. Clean-up and repair is underway and we continue to be briefed by city agencies on their progress. As of this afternoon, water and power have been restored to most of the residents and businesses in the area. ConEd has informed us that they are anticipating gas to be completely restored by this evening. However, some buildings may continue to be impacted. Until the street is fully cleared of debris and deemed traffic ready, Webster Avenue and some of the surrounding streets will remain closed.

Our team continues to be briefed on the situation and we remain in constant contact with our agency partners to bring you the most up to date information. 

As always, we will continue to update our community in real time. If you have any questions or concerns, please call our office at 718-409-0109. If you reside in the affected area and need to report an issue with your utilities, please call 311 to report the problem.

Thank you to the numerous agencies who have worked around the clock to restore, water, power, and gas to the area, as well as clean up the debris to reopen our streets. 

With Gratitude, 

John Zaccaro, Jr.
