The South Nassau Water Authority has scheduled a board meeting for December 8 at 6 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Merrick Library, located at 2279 Merrick Avenue in Merrick. 

During the meeting, the board will discuss the possible municipalization of Liberty Utilities’ Hempstead service area. Hempstead Town residents who are receiving water from Liberty Utilities are encouraged to attend. Public comments will be accepted.

In November 2021, the State of New York created the South Nassau Water Authority, a public entity with the purpose of seeking better drinking water service and lower costs for the residents of the Town of Hempstead who are currently provided service by Liberty Utilities, a private company. 

The meeting agenda and minutes will be available under resources and the event has been added under events.
