HomeCheck For Existing Water Main Surcharges

Main Surcharge Verification

Determine if an existing surcharge applies to a property before closing or applying for new water service.

Authority Policy

Understanding Water Main Extensions

The Suffolk County Water Authority extends water mains to serve new customers only if the customers who take service from the main extension pay the pro-ratable costs. These costs can be paid upfront or over a period of up to ten years through an established surcharge.

Purchasing a Property? We strongly recommend contacting us before you close to determine if there is an existing surcharge. While sellers often agree to pay the remaining balance at closing, if it remains unpaid, the responsibility transfers to the new owner to ensure continued water service.
