The Long Island Water Conference (LIWC) announced this week that Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA) Lead Hydrogeologist and Director of Strategic Initiatives, Tyrand ‘Ty’ Fuller was elected to serve as the organization’s new secretary. Mr. Fuller, a resident of Bay Shore, brings 15 years of environmental project management, with a specialization in construction and reconditioning of water wells and groundwater monitoring to the LIWC Board of Directors.

“I’m looking forward to helping continue the great work of the Long Island Water Conference,” said Secretary Fuller. “Water is our most precious resource, and it is paramount to our success as the regulators of this resource to find the most efficient means through which we can safely supply our communities with high quality water.”

Ty Fuller has a B.S. in Environmental Resources from Hofstra University and a M.S. in Hydrogeology from Stony Brook University. Mr. Fuller joined the SCWA following completion of his undergraduate studies in 2000, where his keen insight into conservation and maintenance of water wells led him to the role of Lead Hydrogeologist in 2015 and Director of Strategic Initiatives in 2016. In these roles, Mr. Fuller works directly with the SCWA CEO on matters related to implementing the Authority’s Ten Year Strategic Business Plan – 2025, further developing and implementing the Authority’s water conservation initiative, participating as a project assistant on the implementation of the mobile workforce initiative, and coordinating the activities of the GIS division as it relates to data gathering and water use.

While at the SCWA, Mr. Fuller took a major role in the creation of an educational lecture series, at which field operators and office personnel participated in workshops for youth groups and high school science classes. The series was intended to educate young minds on the importance of maintaining and protecting our water sources. Mr. Fuller is also renowned for his work as a regional expert on road salt contamination of groundwater publishing articles and giving lectures on the issue throughout the United States.
