• Due to improving weather conditions and the resulting lower overall water demand during the early morning hours, the Stage 1 Water Emergency declared by the Suffolk County Water Authority late this summer has been rescinded, effective immediately.

“To those of you who responded to the call for conservation, thank you. Each and every one of us can make a difference. Your cooperation will help to ensure there is sufficient water supply for firefighting and other emergency situations,” according to an announcement by the Water Authority. “Please note that most of Suffolk County is still in a state of severe drought, so please always use our precious water resources judiciously. The long-term sustainability of the sole source aquifer that provides 100 percent of our drinking water depends on it.”
