The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.
Protecting Suffolk County’s sole source aquifer through wise use, especially during peak demand periods.
Suffolk County’s only source of drinking water is our underground aquifer system — a natural resource formed thousands of years ago. While it provides an abundant supply, it is not unlimited. Demand is rising, making conservation essential for long-term sustainability.
Conservation is not only about how much water we use — it is also about when we use it. During spring and summer, demand spikes in the early morning when most sprinkler systems run. That strain can drive the need for additional wells, pipes and pump stations — projects that can affect water rates.
