The Village of Lindenhurst has once again posted some key utility updates for residents and Hurricane Sandy victims living South of Montauk Highway on its website.
The information - which was posted Friday, November 9, and shared with Lindenhurst Patch by Deputy Mayor Kevin McCaffrey - related to the mandatory electrical inspections announced on Tuesday by the Village, and by the Town of Babylon, along with other crucial Town updates.

This latest information provided by the Village also included details about the text messaging update service the Village began this week to keep residents updated in the aftermath of Sandy.
