Yorktown Storm Update

July 10, 2023 - Supervisor Tom Diana declared a state of emergency on Monday in response to significant damage from a storm that dumped more than 6 inches of rain on Yorktown.

Damage from the storm includes a sinkhole behind Town Hall, compromised culverts, boulders moved into roads, washed out roads and flooding.

“As the water recedes, I’m sure we’re going to find more damage. There are roads washed out all over the place, so we advise everyone to use caution when they drive. Do not drive into standing water because you don’t know how deep it might be,” said Supervisor Diana.

As of Monday morning, road closures included Route 6N between Perry Street and Wood Street; East Main Street between Pine Court and Barger Street; and old Crompond Road between Linette Court and Mill Pond Road. Updated road closures are posted on the Yorktown Police Department’s Nixle account.

All Yorktown parks and recreation programs are canceled for Monday and municipal pools are closed. The Town’s camps and one pool are expected to resume on Tuesday.

Garbage and recycling will be collected on Monday on streets that are passable. If a street is currently closed or unpassable, collection attempts will be made later in the day.
