Smart Water Use 

We are constantly looking for ways to ensure water is available for future generations. Part of that commitment includes helping our customers understand what they can do to help. We do that in a variety of ways: in customer bills, in our newsletters, and here on our website.

With some small changes, you can be a part of this commitment while at the same time, help lower the cost of your water bill.

 

Conservation will help protect Long Island's Aquifer
  • Water quality on Long Island is among the best in the United States. In order to maintain the long-term sustainability of the Long Island Aquifers, and thus guarantee the provision of clean, superior quality fresh water in plentiful supply to Long Island residents, the aquifer must be strictly monitored and highly regulated.
  • The over consumption of fresh water puts the aquifer at risk of salt water intrusion and contamination. The DEC has established a goal to reduce peak season water demand by 15% to ensure the long-term sustainability of our water source.
  • Across the country, water suppliers have instituted conservation rate structures as a means to encourage customers to adjust their consumption habits and reduce water usage for the sake of long-term environmental protection and clean drinking water.
  • The Public Service Commission approved a change in the Liberty rate structure to reflect a statewide effort to conserve water and protect the Long Island Aquifer.
  • These efforts will slow the depletion of our aquifers and protect our water systems, Liberty is encouraging all of its customers to consider conservation.
