Lesser Sworn in as Great Neck Water Pollution Control District Commissioner

Deena Lesser was sworn in for her fifth-term as Great Neck Water Pollution Control District commissioner in the presence of District Superintendent Chris Murphy and the elected board of commissioners, the district announced Tuesday. 

As a commissioner, Lesser is responsible for providing leadership regarding the GNWPCD’s facility – making decisions that protect the environment by improving water quality.

"The district has accomplished a great deal in the last three years and I am very excited to once again serve the Great Neck community,” Lesser, a 50-year resident of Great Neck, stated. 

“Our mission is to provide the most environmentally friendly sewage service at the lowest possible cost, and we have made several key operational improvements to accomplish our goals as we look forward to the future,” she added.

The district serves all of the sewage needs for the villages of Thomaston, Kensington, Saddle Rock, Great Neck Plaza, and has recently added the entire Village of Great Neck to its operations. Lesser is a member of the Board that accomplished the multi-million dollar enlargement and upgrade of the East Shore Road water treatment facility.

Lesser has served as a commissioner of the GNWPCD for the past 15 years, and was a chairperson of the district for five years.
