Joe Nowotny, the Town of Smithtown's investigations division supervisor for the Department of Public Safety called to report that the large hole in a fence surrounding a preserve in Commack was fixed. Town workers began the repair job on Monday morning and finished by early afternoon.
The break in the fence had been there for at least a year, but the town acted quickly when we called about it last week. Our call was prompted by a reader who complained about fires being set in the sump-turned-preserve behind her home on Gannet Drive.
Kudos to both the town and LIPA for working quickly to keep out trespassers.
