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.

#WaterTipWednesday: Thaw your food in the fridge overnight instead of running it under hot water. A simple change like this can make a big difference in your bill and your environmental impact. #conservewater #ourwaterourlives #longisland

Hold the hose! While it's tempting to use it to wash away leaves, dust, and debris, it's very wasteful. Stick to a rake, broom, or shovel whenever possible. #conservewater #ourwaterourlives #longisland

Did your water bill suddenly jump? You may have a leaky pipe. If you suspect a leak, check your water meter after a set period when no water was being used. If the meter changes, it may be time to call a plumber. #conservewater #ourwaterourlives #longisland
