Tourism Industry Remains Healthy!

 

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK

631-447-5252

Margaret Markey Chairwoman of the Assembly Committee on Tourism, Parks, Arts and Sports Development, presided over a public hearing to discuss the redevelopment of New York’s “I Love New York” brand and its influence on the state’s economy. 


New York’s tourism industry is very important to the state’s income and also to its economy.  Last year the tourism industry sustained 700,000 jobs statewide.  New York welcomed 76.2 million visitors resulting in $54 billion in direct tourism spending and about $7 billion in state and local tax revenue in 2011, an 8.3 percent growth since 2010.  A growth in the revenue also led to a growth in tourism related employment, creating jobs is as important as it has ever been, and tourism remains the fifth largest employer in the United States.  Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed a $5 million advertising competition for the best regional marketing plans to create incentive in the counties to work together to create a cohesive environment.  

One of the programs proposes and $800,000 public relations campaign that will increase and effectively utilize the use of social media and improvements to the “I Love New York” Web site with the continuation of the public service announcement series “I Love New York travel tips.”  Markey focused on the affect of Hurricane Sandy on tourism and especially the state parks in Long Island. The 2012-13 budget allotted $94 million to state parks for infrastructure repairs.  The redevelopment to the iconic “I Love New York” brand should be headed by a leader who is capable of bringing our great state back to being the travel and destination leader it once was.

Sewage Problems Still Causing Sandy Victims Problems

 

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK

631-447-5252

Nearly five weeks after the East Coast was hammered by Hurricane Sandy, an abundance of Long Island residents are still facing unsafe and vile sewage problems.  In a WCBS-TV report, Larry Villegas of Bay Park showed his basement full of thick muck from his overflowing sewage water.  Still today, hundreds of Long Island residents are trying to manage the disgusting smell lining their homes.

The sewage system in Mr. Villegas area is managed by the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant, who has pledged to pay for the decontamination for Bay Park residents.  The contracted crew to help the efforts told WCBS they are gutting eight houses a day while working around the clock.  Villegas stated, “That’s priority one—get the cleanup done. Get the mold and the sewer water out of the house so I can start rebuilding my life.”

Health Concerns with Sewage in Sandy Aftermath

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK

631-447-5252

Two weeks after super storm Sandy hit, the damage still remains.  When the storm first hit the treatment pumps at the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant stopped working when it got flooded,

The solution was to divert raw sewage into the Rockaway channel to avoid excess backups into homes.   The sewage has only been partially treated as it continues to pump into the channel.  The raw sewage that is going into the plant is being treated and chlorinated, but the secondary systems are still down.  It was estimated that over nine feet of water rushed ashore during Sandy and caused massive destruction.  Raw sewage gushed up from the streets and drains like fountains and it rose up into residents’ basements. 

The damaged caused by this partially treated sewage could have lasting effects on the environment. The Bay Park plant that is only partially operational normally treats over 550,000 home in Nassau County.  Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano says “the county has the Department of Environmental Conservation and the Army Corps of Engineers at the plant, actively creating temporary cleansing station while they rebuild the plant.”  Part of the restoration plan will include developing new ways to make the plant flood-proof.

The plant isn't back to its normal operating efficiency, and most likely won’t be for 6 month up to a full year.

Nassau Diverting Sewage

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK

631-447-5252

Sewage systems all over Long Island have been experiencing catastrophic failures caused by the recent super storm Sandy.  Particularly Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant, which recently experienced massive failures causing sewage to be backed up into nearby homes.  This plant has increased its workload from the average 70 million gallons of influent it normally treats to 85 million gallons, in an attempt to relieve the faulty system.  Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano assures that workers have been successful in diverting this mess away from local residents.  But the plant is still experiencing significant problems, including two breached piping systems that are allowing sewage to spew out.  In addition a county vehicle collapsed into a sinkhole and is sinking onto one of the pipes in East Rockaway.  

The county issued a Public Health Emergency on Wednesday in response to the plant failure caused by the storm.  There is also an order to conserve drinking water that will remain in effect for at least the next few days.  Residents south of the Long Island Expressway, from the Queens Border to the Meadowbrook State Parkway, are included in the water conservation order with the exception of Cedarhurst and Lawrence.  The water in the area has been tested and determined safe to drink, the only areas impacted by the restrictions of contamination are in Long Beach and Mill Neck.  The massive failures at the Bay Park plant encouraged the county to initiate a three-part migration plan that includes up to 30 days of triage repairs and six to twelve months of comprehensive repair of the entire facility.  

All resources are being exhausted in the attempt to make these communities safe and return them to their normal states.  This process will take a lot of time and effort but it will be completed.

Sewer Systems Affected From Hurricane Sandy

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK

631-447-5252

In the aftermath of any hurricane, it is very common to experience difficulties with your sewage systems not functioning properly.  Some septic systems operate using a dosing pump, which will not work without electricity.  

The loss of electricity is one of the most common effects from a hurricane, so this could be a common problem.  You should avoid using water in your home as much as possible until the electric turns back on.  Without electricity and a properly working pump, the tanks may fill and cause backups of sewage into your home.  When this occurs your entire home can become saturated and become unsafe to occupy.  Heavy rainfall from hurricanes may result in flood waters that are contaminated with sewage.  

These overflows can take a significant amount of time to clean and can be dangerous to encounter.  Minor spills require immediate attention; regular garden lime from a garden shop can be a quick and easy remedy.  Major floods need to be handled by professionals and rescue crews.  In the event of major floods one should evacuate immediately until the area is cleared.  

Sewer Expansion Project

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK

631-447-5252

On October 10^th, The Suffolk County Department of Public Works (SCDPW) will host its third public meeting of project stakeholders to discuss and present the final report and recommendations for the Southwest Service Area Expansion Project.  

This project will help expand services to areas such as Deer Park, North Babylon, West Babylon, West Islip, Wheatley Heights and Wyandanch.  It will connect these areas with Lindenhurst and Babylon Village, which had connected sewer lines 30 years ago.  “With the new availability of sanitary sewers has the potential to increase business investments, enhance workforce housing opportunities, improve water quality and provide greater environmental protection in these six communities,” said Gilbert Anderson, Commissioner of the SCDPW.  Although this project would help many people, it would cost the taxpayers over 2 billion dollars.  Over 53% of the budget will be allocated to an area called Tier One, which are the areas with the most need for these sewer systems.  

Officials wanted to reassure the taxpayers that 2 billion dollars is just and estimate without any outside funding.  Funding could possibly come from sources like USEPA Grant, a State Revolving Fund, a Downtown Revitalization Grant, a Transit Oriented Development Grant, a Privatized Sewer District Formation, Housing Redevelopment Grants or Industrial Redevelopment Grants.

Suffolk County Expanding Sewer System

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK

631-447-5252

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.

Septic Tanks Matter!

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK

631-447-5252

Out of sight is out of mind and septic tanks certainly fit the cliché. I mean who really wants to see or talk about them but it is in our best interest if we would now and then think about our septic tank.

A poorly maintained or not maintained septic tank will not only affect our health but also (if you look at the larger picture) the environment. Faulty septic tanks will redirect sewage and gas back up the pipes of your house and flush out dangerous chemicals in and out of your home.

A little commonsense, presence of mind and periodic maintenance will ensure that there are no dangerous leaks resulting in costly repairs. Foremost it would be wise to get the septic tank checked annually by a licensed company with trained personnel. My drains were working very slow and clogging up and instead of trying to get a licensed septic company to check the problem, I tried to do it myself. At the same time my toilet was not flushing either. This should have raised a red flag but I didn’t know better. The delay in getting the problem checked out cost me good!

So at the outset when these problems start cropping up, call a licensed professional. Also other indications that things are going south with the septic tank is when your yard smells like sulfuric acid with wet patches in places. A septic tank repair and maintenance technician at Dave Lange Sewer Service, Inc., informed me that one way to avoid costly septic problems is to make sure that trees with far reaching roots and/or swimming pools don’t are not situated near the septic tank. Good to know huh?

If you need to know more about your septic tanks or wish to find a company that has the requisite knowledge about the workings of a septic tank, you can check out our website! We are available 24/7 for all your septic tank emergencies!
