In case you missed it, here's a story that appeared last week in Lindenhurst Patch:

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY - Customers of the Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA) will be seeing an increase in their bills starting next year. The company announced that in November, the board approved a $20 quarterly fee starting January 1, 2020.

The fee will cover the cost of developing and operating treatment systems for 1,4-dioxane and the perfluorinated compounds PFOS and PFOA.

"Our mission is to provide our customers high quality water that is constantly tested at the lowest possible cost," SCWA Chairman Patrick Halpin said in a statement. "When the state takes action to remove 1,4-dioxane, PFOS and PFOA from Long Island's groundwater, SCWA will be ready to continue to fulfill that mission."
