GWD BEST TASTING WATER ON LONG ISLAND, 2009!

Dated: June 5, 2009

We are happy and proud to report that Greenlawn Water District took top honors for the best-tasting water on Long Island at the contest sponsored by the Long Island Water Conference during National Drinking Water Week (May 3rd through 9th).

The next taste-off will be held in New York City some time in August among the other county winners including Nassau County. The top two vote-getters of that contest will head upstate to the Syracuse State Fair to compete for Best in State. GWD was awarded this title in 2001 and 2004.

Something we should never take for granted here on Long Island is how fortunate we are to have such a plentiful supply of excellent water. There is so much to be thankful for!

The Greenlawn Water District is but one of many Long Island water utilities working together to ensure that your water remains safe to drink and is always there when you want it. You are the ratepayers, and the Greenlawn Water District is here for you.

LEGAL NOTICE

Posted December 24, 2008

NOTICE IS HEREBY given that at the public meeting of the Commissioners of the Greenlawn Water District (11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, January 7, 2009, at the Greenlawn Water District office, 45 Railroad St., Greenlawn, New York), the Board will consider a resolution to appropriate from the Repair Reserve Fund (i) the sum of up to $2,185,780 for the purpose of the rehabilitation of the 1 million gallon elevated water storage tank located on Wicks Road and Larkfield Road within the Greenlawn Water District, and (ii) the sum of up to $357,620 for repairs to Plant No. 11 located on Pulaski Road within the Greenlawn Water District.


By Order of the Board of Commissioners
Greenlawn Water District

Excuse Our Appearance. Water Tower Maintenance.

Dear Fellow Consumers:

Our storage tank located at Wicks Road & Larkfield Road was temporarily taken out of service on November 20th for scheduled maintenance.

As a result, Commack customers are currently being supplied with water from the District's westerly zones. For the most part, water pressure will be unaffected, but the Greenlawn Water District monitors at regular intervals to detect dips in pressure and will compensate accordingly.

This effort represents a total refurbishment of the 1 million gallon tank, which was originally constructed in 1955 and last overhauled in 1988.

A significant part of the maintenance includes painting the storage tank both inside and outside to prevent against the elements and the wear and tear of continual usage.

Due to the scope of the project, it will be completed in two phases,  now through early Spring 2009 and beginning again in September 2009.

In early Spring 2009 the tank will be put back into service in order to meet the increased Summer demand. It wll again be taken off-line in September 2009 to have the balance of the work completed. We will keep you posted as to progress right here on the website.

We appreciate your patience as we undertake this scheduled maintenance. Please call me directly with any questions at 631-261-0926.
