Important Notice – West Nile Virus Precaution 

August 26, 2010 

Dear Resident,

The Village has been notified by the Suffolk County Department of Health that a positive test for West Nile Virus was recently found in Fireman’s Park, north of Charles Street.  As a result, and as a precaution to protect public health, the Health Department recommended to the Village that Fireman’s Park as well as Village Park (Feller’s Pond), south of Charles Street, be closed from 6pm to 8am until further notice.  Therefore, all scheduled outdoor activities in these two Village parks during these hours are hereby cancelled.

The county will continue to monitor this area and will advise the Village when it is safe to reopen the parks for evening activities. 

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.  I have enclosed some general information about West Nile Virus for your review.  Please contact Lindenhurst Village Hall for any further questions.  

Sincerely, 

Thomas A. Brennan, Mayor
