The Levittown Chamber of Commerce held its general meeting on Aug. 17 at Domenico’s. The guest speaker was Matthew Rizzo, a project manager at Grassroots Environmental Education Jump In! Program, who discussed Long Island’s water
quality. Contamination from sewage, pesticides and other pollutants, as well as the over-p
umping of water supplies, threaten Long Island’s ground and surface waters, he said. He also discussed water conservation and protection tips, which include watering lawns in the very early morning (before 5 a.m.), never dumping prescription drugs in the toilet (King Kullen will accept), curbing pets and disposing of pet waste responsibly so that it doesn’t get absorbed into the ground and many more tips.
