The South Nassau Water Authority was established a year ago and have yet to hold one public meeting.
Now that it's winter and our water bills are manageable, we don't want the Water Authority or Liberty to think that ratepayers forgot the goal of a public acquisition. It's been over a year since the water authority was formed to acquire Liberty Utilities. We need to know the status of its negotiations with Liberty to acquire its water system in the Town of Hempstead.
We have been held hostage by a private water monopoly that profits for supplying a basic necessity - water. We have been paying outrageous water rates for way too long.
We DEMAND that the South Nassau Water Authority begin holding meetings to advise the public of the status of its efforts to acquire Liberty Utilities pursuant to state law. A public authority must be transparent, responsive and effective. Let's get this done!

Town of Hempstead residents cannot afford the rates of a private water company. We need South Nassau Water Authority to establish low rates similar to all other areas on Long Island. We cannot afford to live here anymore!
Make meetings public
The meetings need to be open to the public. There needs to be transparency and accountability.
Fix the water !

So let me get this straight we have one of the worst quality of drinking waters and they want to make us pay nearly 50% more?? And our local politicians are ok with this?? As a well known Realtor trying to always promote my Comunity and the quality of life here. It’s getting increasingly challenging to do so. I object object object of this increase.
