Fire Hydrant Flooding on Chestnut Ridge Road Causes Minor Water Disruption

By Rockland Daily Staff

A car struck a fire hydrant at the intersection of Chestnut Ridge Road and Sutin Place late last night, leading to a temporary disruption in water service for nearby homes.

According to Veolia Water Services, crews responded to the scene and shut off water in the immediate area while repairs were carried out. The incident also caused water to flow into the roadway for a short time after the hydrant was struck.

Utility crews worked to repair the hydrant and restore normal service. Residents in the surrounding area experienced a temporary loss of water while the work was underway.

Water service to the affected homes was restored after only half an hour.
