Until further notice, residents are urged to boil their water or use bottled water. Read more here.

2. Heat Wave: With temperatures expected to creep to triple digits by Saturday, Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) officials say they will have extra crews available to address any heat-related outages that may arise as residents crank up their air conditioning to battle the hot and humid weather. Read more about the weather at 8 a.m.

3. Parking Field #12: Work in Parking Field #12 is being done in four phases; each phase is expected to last three to four weeks. Phase #1 is now completed; that portion of the parking field will re-open today while the northern half of the parking field will close for Phase #2.

4. Concert on the Village Green: The Tercels will sing your favorite oldies on the village green tonight as the recreation department's summer concert series continues. Show kicks off at 7:15 p.m. If case of inclement weather, show will be moved to Cluett Hall at St. Paul's.
