Suffolk County Long Island could be taking more than 20 sewer districts by the Suffolk County Water Authority. The county is looking at ways to expand its sewer system to boost development, which will include a possible sale or a sale with the county’s water authority.

County Executive Steve Bellone, included the initiative in his $2/77 billion budget plan he presented on Friday, September 21^st for the fiscal year that starts on January 1. Bellone will be working closely with the Legislature on this issue and no sale or change in sewer will undergo without a full vetting and Legislative authorization.

This decision will affect Suffolk County and preservationists have argued against expanding the sewer system saying it will lead to over- development.
