SCWA’s WaterTalk Returns on June 21

Opportunity for Residents to Speak Directly with Their Water Provider and Learn More About Their Water and Service

The Suffolk County Water Authority will be hosting the next installment of its WaterTalk series of educational forums on June 21 at 6:00 pm at Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton. This event provides an opportunity for South Fork customers to learn more and ask questions about their water, its conservation and any related topics. Those who are interested but cannot attend can view the event via the zoom, with the link available on SCWA’s website.

“News about our drinking water is never far from the eyes and ears of Suffolk residents, something which often raises more questions than answers,” said SCWA Chairman 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 crucial work done at the SCWA to reliably provide the highest-quality water.”


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