Attention North Shore Long Island Residents—Look Out for an Important Survey in the Mail!
Beginning in Mid-March, randomly selected single-family households, who reside within the Long Island Sound Watershed, will receive mailed Invitation letters to participate in an important research survey about clean water and septic systems.
This research is being led by Dr. Jamie Vaudrey at the University of Connecticut, in partnership with Clark University, under a grant from the Long Island Sound Partnership.
The goal of this study is to help local and state agencies better understand how homeowners maintain their septic systems and gather input on potential voluntary incentive programs to support upgrades that better protect drinking water, as well as Long Island’s bays, beaches, and harbors.
Because this research will conduct randomized sampling, only households that receive a mailed invitation letter should complete the survey. The survey takes about 15 minutes, participation is voluntary, and all responses are confidential.
We strongly encourage you to participate as your response will help inform local and state decision-making around future clean water policies and programs.
Thank you for using your voice!
Sincerely,
All of Us at CCE
