NEW YORK - When it comes to Long Island’s drinking water many have concerns about drinking from unfiltered faucets because of emerging contaminants in Long Island’s aquifer.
But now a new idea of possibly tapping into New York City’s upstate water supply has some officials wondering if it’s realistic.
Local and state officials want to study the idea of tapping into New York City's upstate water supply because of concerns about emerging contaminants in Long Island's aquifer.
Members of the Island's delegation to the State Legislature and local officials plan to explore purchasing city water to service residents of western Nassau County in what would be a dramatic change for a region that long has relied on its underground aquifers for tap water.
Long Island has one source of drinking water that must be protected to ensure its safety for future generations: groundwater. Within the last 18 months, the safety of Long Island’s groundwater has been called into question with the detection of emerging contaminants, such as 1,4-dioxane and Hexavalent Chromium (Chromium 6) in aquifers across the Island at levels that far exceed the national average.
