Williston Park’s new water tower is filled and ready for testing, Mayor Paul Ehrbar said, and the village has replaced a gazebo near Hillside Avenue.
At a meeting on Monday, the village Board of Trustees also allocated funds for road restoration.
Ehrbar said at the meeting that landscaping still needed to be done around the gazebo, which he said is popular for senior citizen concerts.
Ehrbar said at meeting that Williston Park was able to get $3,705 toward the landscaping for the project from the Flushing Bank Community Enhancement Project. Ehrbar explained that the original gazebo “needed to go” after standing for 30 years.
When the board voted to approve the 2019-20 budget in April, Ehrbar said the new water tower on Syracuse Street was set to be done by June 1. In a brief interview on Wednesday, Ehrbar did not give a date when the tower will be completely done, but said that it is “filled and ready for testing in the next week and a half.”
The board also voted to allocate $90,500 left over from the 2018-19 budget to repair roads throughout the village.
The Williston Park Board of Trustees will hold its next public meeting at Village Hall on June 17 at 8 p.m.
