Long Island voters have elected or reelected water commissioners in 21 commissioner-run water districts within Nassau and Suffolk Counties. The Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’
Association (NSWCA) welcomes to its association the elected and reelected commissioners who will each serve a three-year term, which began Jan. 1, 2015, and runs through Dec. 31, 2017. Among the commissioners it congratulates and welcomes South Farmingdale Water District Commissioner Ralph Atoria.
The water district elections are held annually and residents vote for one of three district commissioners in each district.
NSWCA President Thomas P. Hand stated, “The significance of commissioner-run districts is that they enable residents to express their opinions through voting while allowing them opportunity to participate in the democratic process on a hyper-local basis. Every vote in a water district election truly counts.”
