📰 News we're reading

• All Lanes Closed Until Thursday, Utility Work (patch.com) — Drivers in Hicksville should plan around a full closure of NY 25 westbound near Store Hill Road as utility crews work daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Thursday. The lane shutdown, reported by 511NY, may cause delays for local commuters and shoppers using this busy route.
   

• Long Island school districts with positive lead tests: (news12.com) — Hicksville schools are on the state’s list of districts with drinking water that recently tested above New York’s newly tightened lead limits, alongside many others across Nassau and Suffolk. State rules require any affected fountains or taps be shut down, replaced with safe alternatives, and retested, making this an important health issue for local families to watch.
