Apparently, an emergency situation has the city shutting off the water supply to hundreds in Maspeth this morning, Thursday, May 17th, for just today.

We’re not sure how long it will last, but at the Community Board 5 meeting last night, it was reported that some of the homes in the area between 69th Street, Jay Avenue, 53rd Avenue and 66th Street will not have water today.

We wish they would have given us the report yesterday morning when they knew about it so we could give you guys fair warning, but nonetheless, here it is.

On Monday, May 21, join the candlelight vigil at Maspeth Memorial Park at 8 p.m.
In addition, here’s a look at the Maspeth Memorial Day Parade route. Don’t forget to move your car prior to the parade!
