Plainview Water District Commissioner Andrew Bader Among Re-Elected Water Commissioners Welcomed Back to NSWCA

December 22, 2015; Plainview, NY - Long Island voters have elected or re-elected water commissioners in 21 commissioner-run water districts within Nassau and Suffolk Counties. The Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association (NSWCA), which consists of water commissioners representing 21 Long Island water districts, congratulates and welcomes back to its Association re-elected Plainview Water District Commissioner Andrew Bader, who will serve a three-year term beginning January 1, 2016, which runs through December 31, 2018. Water district elections are held annually and residents vote for one of three district commissioners in each district.

“We are pleased to welcome our new and returning colleagues to the NSWCA,” NSWCA President and Massapequa Water District Commissoiner Thomas P. Hand stated. “Commissioner-run water districts enable residents and consumers to express their opinions and preferences through the voting process. One commissioner from each district is elected to represent the people. This puts emphasis on a hyper-local basis in each community. In such hyper-local elections, every resident’s vote truly counts.”

NSWCA is comprised of water commissioners from 21 Nassau County and Suffolk County water districts. NSWCA is dedicated to communication, efficiency and best practices among Long Island’s water districts. As part of its mission, the association holds monthly educational meetings sponsoring experts on topics that include law, cost efficiencies, rules and regulations and issues germane to water utilities.
