Last year Governor Hochul enacted legislation that established both the North and South Nassau Water Authorities.
However, unlike the bill that established an authority to provide water to approximately 10,000 residents on the north shore, the South Nassau Water Act, which will serve a much larger population of over 200,000 south shore residents, failed to include any state funding.
To rectify this omission, Senator Brooks and Assemblywoman Griffin passed S7864b and A9307 in June 2022, which amends NYS General Municipal and the Public Authorities Laws so that the South Nassau Water Authority is also eligible for the $1 million in state funding per year that the water authority on the north shore will receive.
We, the undersigned, urge Governor Hochul to enact S7864b so that the South Nassau Water Authority can move forward with its acquisition of Liberty Water.
YOUR SIGNATURE WILL HELP!
Please forward this to your friends....
Thank you!

We are asking for equity with the rest of Long Island which has public water and pays a fraction of what we pay. We should not be overcharged for a necessity of life.
Pls. Governor Hochul, I strongly urge you to sign the legislation to fund the South Shore Water Authority. Clean, affordable public water is the most basic responsibility of government. It is not a luxury . It is time to put an end to the monopoly, investor-owned private water scammers in NYS once and for all. Thank you.
Honorable Governor Hochul, Please approve funding for SNWA so we can again have quality water service without profit being the priority of the supplier.
Governor Hochul needs to enact S7864b so that the South Nassau Water Authority can move forward with its acquisition of Liberty Water. We need this done now in order to stop us from paying to much for water. We need public water now!
I used to pay exorbitant rates until, after many years, a water authority was created, Water should be available at reasonable rates. Please fund this one.
Please sign ASAPGovernor.
Why won’t you sign the bill to fund this deal. We have been fighting to get public water for many many years. Let’s get this done.

Our neighborhood should not have to pay Liberty’s overhead for a basic life necessity. Please sign this bill to fund SNWA.
