SCWA's WaterTalk returns on June 21

The Suffolk County Water Authority will host the next installment of the WaterTalk educational forum series on June 21 at 6:00 p.m. at the Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton. This event provides an opportunity for South Fork customers to learn more and ask questions about their water, conservation and any related issues. Those interested but unable to attend can view the event via zoom, with the link available on the SCWA website.

“News about our drinking water is never far from the eyes and ears of Suffolk residents, often raising more questions than answers,” said SCWA President Charles Lefkowitz. “Our WaterTalk event is an opportunity for us to answer these questions and provide a better understanding of how our water system works here in Suffolk County. We look forward to seeing our residents at this event and discussing the critical work that has been done at SCWA to reliably provide the highest quality water.”

The WaterTalk series features a panel of experts who will discuss important topics such as drinking water quality, ways SCWA is implementing new infrastructure to improve water quality and service, the importance of conservation and more. During the discussion, participants are invited to ask questions. Water is Suffolk County's most precious natural resource, and SCWA officials hope attendees will walk away from this event with increased knowledge about their water and increased confidence in the product delivered to their homes.

Residents interested in attending the SCWA WaterTalk can register by emailing theodore.aponte@scwa.org. Residents who would prefer to attend virtually can do so at www.scwa.com.
