UJO Thanks DEP for Completing Sewer Main Replacement Work on Rodney Street in Two weeks; UJO Holds Holocaust Survivors Women's Luncheon

 In another item of March 4's column (p. 30, middle of page), the UJO thanked the New York City DEP for completing the sewer main replacement work on Rodney Street in two weeks, as promised during a meeting with Councilman Levin, UJO, and Associate Commissioner Eric Landau, in the offices of the main Satmar shul on that street.

Last year, a DEP project affected adversely the traffic on this busy street during the Purim and Passover season. At the meeting, Mr. Landau promised that the project will only take a couple of weeks and it will be completed way before the Purim holiday.


"On behalf of the residents of Rodney Street, the Satmar Congregation and numerous shul-goers there, we thank the DEP for completing the important reconstruction of the sewer infrastructure so rapidly, minimizing the affects and inconveniences on the street. We express a special thanks to Associate Commissioner Mr. Eric Landau for assuring that the impacts of the project are kept to minimal, and to Councilman Levin for his intervention on this mater," said Rabbi David Niederman, UJO President.
