Bellone Discusses Water, Other Issues With North Fork

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone met with North Fork community representatives Wednesday to discuss water quality and other issues of importance to residents .

 

“We know nitrogen is harming the waterways and water supply of Suffolk County,” Bellone said. “Our  wetlands are damaged by nitrogen and threaten our coastlines during a natural disaster. Too many homes in Suffolk are not sewered, and we must address this problem for the sake of the county’s economic wellbeing and our children’s future.  ”
