From The Board: Working Towards A More Transparent Government

Much is said today about transparency in government. The Roslyn Water District Board of Commissioners wants you to know the ways we are working to keep you informed and up to date on the District. This includes the quality of the water delivered, the reliability of the systems involved and the efficiency of the operations.

Included in this website is the Annual Water Quality report. It includes a wealth of information on the quality of the water delivered which meets all government standards and requirements. It also includes information on the source of the water, the average cost per household and the current water rates. Also included is information on watering restrictions, system improvements and contacts for additional information.

While this Report is now required of all water purveyors, the Roslyn Water District began publishing it 20-years ago, prior to it being mandated.

This website and the District newsletter provide additional information on annual pumpage, back flow devices and their necessity, new equipment, new systems designed to make the overall operation more cost-effective and responsive to the District residents. This includes the reverse 911 system, the Automatic Meter Reading system, and the new SCADA program designed to provide continuous, real-time monitoring and control of the water acquisition and distribution system.

Meeting dates, budget and contact information plus other pertinent information is also found in each issue.

This site provides a downloadable version of the annual water quality report and much more.

We invite you to peruse the site to see the depth and scope of its contents including: News, History, Board Members, Budget Information, Water Education, Contact Information, Detailed Water Rate Information, Links to other related facilities, Public Notices (hearings, elections, etc.), and more.

If you are in need of a District form or more information on the District Ordinance, these are also on this website.

The District also provides key budget, hearing and meeting information for the Town of North Hempstead website, www.tonh.org.

Finally, the District Office staff is readily available to answer your questions or be of assistance. The office is open daily from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM.

Putting it all together, the Commissioners and Management of the District are working to keep you well informed on the policies, efficiencies, quality and events of the District. If you have a suggestion or question regarding any aspect of the operation, please contact the office at 516-621-7770.
