Be Advised that the City is currently aware of Water Main Breaks on Bleloch Avenue Between Jackson & Brook Street. As well as at the Corner of Washington Street & Roosevelt. Crews are on site.

An average of a quarter-million families have their homes ruined and their lives disrupted each winter, all because of water pipes that freeze and burst. To prevent the needless expense and aggravation of frozen water pipes, protect your home, apartment or business by following these simple steps:

During the early morning hours, the City of Peekskill experienced a rupture on a water main on South Broad Street near the firehouse. An interruption to water service will affect a very limited number of residents in the area.

City staff is in the process of working to repair the break and it is unknown how long it will take to restore service. After the repairs are complete, normal water will again be restored to the distribution system affected and city residents may experience a discoloration in the water, but this can be cleared by running a water tap for a brief period.

Fire hydrant flushing will be conducted in the City of Peekskill

Fire hydrant flushing in Peekskill will begin Monday, June 7th after midnight and will continue through the early morning hours citywide. Flushing will resume Tuesday, June 8th and Wednesday, June 9th after midnight into the early morning hours.

Residents are advised to watch for discolored water while using water for food preparation, laundry or other water-sensitive processes.
