STAGE 1 WATER ALERT

Because of the record heat and lack of rain, the peak demand for water on the East End is continuing to rise. As such the Suffolk County Water Authority is initiating a Stage 1 Water Alert and is calling on East End customers to voluntarily reduce water usage IMMEDIATELY.

In an effort to avoid a more serious problem that would hinder the Authority's ability to provide water for fire protection and other essential services, we are asking all customers to only use water when needed.
Please refrain from lawn watering, car washing, or similar non-essential water usage until we get rain. A reduction of usage now will help protect the drinking water system from an equipment failure that could result in a complete shut down of your water supply.
