Help Save Long Island's Only Drinking Water Source!

It’s a fact:

ALL of the water used by Long Islanders for drinking, washing, watering lawns and all other purposes comes from groundwater contained in sand and gravel aquifers beneath the land surface. Think of them as giant underground sponges saturated with water.

Did you know?

The lives of millions of people depend on this unique water source every day. Unfortunately, population growth and water overuse threaten the quantity of water in Long Island's aquifers, especially during the spring and summer when lawn watering is at its peak.

Join us in taking simple steps to help conserve our precious drinking water.

Avoid watering your lawn on windy days! On windy days, a lot of sprinkler water is evaporated and blown onto the streets. Instead try to wait until the wind has subsided to water your lawn.
