🌱 $2.5M Invested In Kings Park Water System + Early Voting Is Oct. 29

Hello all. I'm back with your new edition of the Smithtown Daily. Here's what you need to know about what's happening locally. In today's issue, you'll read about these stories and more:

• Water Main replacement to be complete in Kings Park.
• Smithtown Pet of the Week.
• Early Voting starts Saturday.
• Heritage Ball at Smithtown Historical Society and more!

But first, today's weather:

Partly sunny and breezy. High: 57, low: 41.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Smithtown who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Smithtown Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top five stories in Smithtown today:

1. Suffolk County Water Authority announced the water main replacement project on Kings Park is close to being completed. An investment of $2.5 million was made to benefit one hundred residents of Main Street, Park Avenue, and Indian Head Road. (Newsday/Subscription Required)
2. Town of Smithtown features little Zendaya as the Pet of the Week. Zendaya, the cat, is a one-year-old female who needs a permanent home. Sad, she was diagnosed with cat leukemia, which will shorten her life, but she is happy and playful and deserves to find a family/person who will cherish her life and help her to make the best out of it. You can visit the link I've shared to see a picture of Zendaya and consider taking her home today. (Town of Smithtown)
3. Smithtown Historical Society is hosting its 19th annual Heritage Ball on Nov. 3 in honor of our local heroes. Proceeds will go to Mildred Smith Scholarship Program. Visit the SHS website to purchase tickets. (Smithtown Historical Society)
4. Long Island News 12 features the documentary "Sandy: 10 Years Later," showing the impacts of the superstorm that fiercely hit our island on October 29, 2012. For the next few days, stories of loss and overcoming challenges will be shared by residents who had their lives changed by the natural disaster. You can access the original full content of the documentary here. (LI News12)
5. Early voting starts Saturday in New York. You can find nearby locations and hours at the NY Elections Voter Look-Up guide. (VLG)
