Since its inception in 1951, the Long Island Water
Conference has touched all
phases of water
supply
and
management
in
Nassau
and
Suffolk
Counties. Members include the major water suppliers,
both public and private, on Long Island. Together they
serve virtually 90 percent of the bi-county area, which
has a population greater than 20 states.
While membership was originally
limited to commissioners and officials of districts,
villages, cities, towns, authorities and investor-owned
companies, the Water Conference was expanded to include
water superintendents.
Further growth brought in attorneys, consulting engineers,
officials of various governmental regulatory agencies,
representatives of Nassau and Suffolk Health Departments,
NY State Department of Environmental Conservation,
United States Geological Survey and manufacturers
and contractors connected with water supply operations.
Each makes a vital contribution to the complete water
supply industry.
Members of the Long Island Water Conference possess extensive
knowledge and experience in the five major phases of public water supply:
- Pumpage from deep wells to approximately two
and one-half million residents
- Storage
for fire fighting purposes and meeting maximum
day demands
- Treatment and quality control;
- Distribution
for commercial, industrial, residential and firematic
use
- Administration and water resource
management
