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.”

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.

Do You Have a Septic Tank or Cesspool?

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK

631-447-5252

Do you have a septic system or a cesspool?  Are you unsure? Are you wondering what the components of your system are?

The components of your system depend on the age of your home. If your home was built prior to 1973, your system will have a conduit which is the main line which leads from the house to a cesspool. If your house was built after 1973, you’ll be dealing with a septic tank. Septic tanks are located between the main line between the house and the cesspool.
