June 8, 2017; Franklin Square, NY USA - Franklin Square Water District (FSWD) recently took top honors as the best tasting tap water in Nassau County during the 32nd Annual Long Island Water Conference (LIWC) Best Tasting Water Contest hosted at Farmingdale State College.

“We are extremely proud to receive this honor,” said FSWD Water Commissioner Ralph D.

District Superintendent John Hughes and my fellow Water Commissioners, Salvatore A. Intagliata and Madeline F. Presta are extremely pleased to receive this honor.”
Commissioner Pugliese, a past President of the Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association (NSWCA), also noted that the District’s mission has always been “to be vigilant in protecting its water quality and Long Island’s single source aquifer, as well as to promote conservation and sustainability. We work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap via an infrastructure that includes 42 miles of water mains. This award recognizes those efforts."

Edward P. Ra, Assemblyman of the 19th District, attended the ceremony at The Franklin Square Water District, where Franklin Square Water District received its Best Tasting Water in Nassau County award.

Franklin Square Water District received the most votes from the hundreds of contest participants. In addition, water experts were at the event to educate the public regarding the source(s) of their water and the invaluable importance of water quality, conservation and sustainability.
