Water Hogs of the Hamptons: Water Authority Asks Superusers To Cut Back
from 27Speaks · host The Express News Group
The Suffolk County Water Authority has for years dubbed private properties that consume millions of gallons of water per year “superusers” and has tried appealing to owners and property managers to do more to reduce the amount of water they draw in through the SCWA mains, which taxes the authority’s ability to maintain water pressure at peak usage times, posing a threat to firefighting capabilities. The Express News Group has tracked the growth of superusers and how much water they draw from the SCWA wells since 2010, labeling top users as “the Water Hogs of the Hamptons.” Reporter Michael Wright and SCWA director of external affairs Dan Dubois join the editors on the podcast this week to discuss the concerns and what SCWA is doing to alleviate them.
