The Dangers of Private Wells

In episode 28 of ‘What About Water?’, SCWA Director of Communications and External Affairs Dan Dubois sits down with Kelly McClinchy, a Manorville resident who fought for years to bring public water to her neighborhood, and Jason Hime, Chief of the Office of Water Resources for the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, which works closely with us to identify at-risk wells through countywide testing programs. They discuss the benefits of hooking up to public water and the risks associated with relying on private wells.
