We have been asked to post information on a public hearing for the next Long Island Commission for Aquifer Protection (LICAP) meeting on December 7th, 2022.
The Long Island Commission for Aquifer Protection (LICAP) is a bi-county organization formed in 2013 by unanimous votes in the Nassau and Suffolk Legislatures to address both quality and quantity issues facing Long Island’s aquifer system and to advocate for a coordinated, regional approach to groundwater resources management. LICAP was reauthorized for a second five-year term in 2018.
Main Flushing Program
As of November 29, 2022, the flushing program has been suspended for the winter season.
The Water Authority has an active project to address emerging contaminants, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), and 1,4-Dioxane.
In the Fall of 2022 a letter will be sent to all customers regarding a continuing deferral issued for PFOA, PFOS and 1,4-Dioxane.
