Langdon Road is located off Boundary Avenue near the Bethpage State Parkway. Look for the yellow flashing light.

The office is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). Be sure to include your bill statement with your payments.

Each bill specifies the date of your next bill (Section E of statement). On your bill, there is an eight digit number, next to your account number, above your name. The first digit in that number indicates your group number. Once you locate that digit, refer to the billing schedule section for due dates.

There is no grace period. In keeping with New York State Town Law, the due date indicated on your bill is the absolute deadline.

You should receive a bill every three months. If you didn’t receive a bill within the scheduled timeframe, please call us at (516) 249-3330.

Each consumer’s usage is determined by different variables, such as the number of people living in the home, size of lawn, size of house, etc. For this reason, we are unable to give a meaningful average.

Many factors contribute to fluctuations in your water bill:

Weather fluctuations. Water consumption changes from one season to the next. For an accurate comparison, examine bills from corresponding periods (August ’16 vs. August ’15).

Have living arrangements changed? Water consumption will increase if there are more people living in the residence. Has there been an apartment added on to the residence?

Check for leaks. Dripping faucets inside and outside are obvious sources, but look for other less visible signs as well. Start in the bathroom. Listen for hissing noises around the toilet, which indicate a shut-off valve is leaking. These things add up. For example, a hole that’s 1/16″ wide can leak as much as 74,000 gallons of water in 90 days. That translates to $124.20 (at current billing rate) every three months.

There are many ways to determine if you have a water leak on your property or in your house. You can sign up for the Eye on Water program to help monitor your water usage. Look for signs of pooling around sprinkler heads. Are the faucet heads dripping? An outside hose or faucet mistakenly left dribbling away can waste thousands of gallons of water over the course of the summer.

Check your inside sinks and faucets for drips. Check your toilet. Do you have to jiggle the handle to stop it from running? Most toilet leaks occur at the overflow pipe or at the plunger ball inside the tank. To locate a toilet leak, take the tank lid off and flush. The water level should come up to about a half-inch or so below the overflow pipe. Adjust the float level control screw, if necessary, so the valve shuts off the water at that level. If the valve itself is leaking, you may need a plumber to fix it.

To detect a silent leak in your toilet, you can test it by putting 10 drops of food coloring in the tank. Don’t flush for several hours. If the colored water shows up in the bowl, the tank is leaking. If you do suspect a leak we recommend calling a plumber for assistance.

Locate the number just above the word “GALLONS.” The first four digits (reading left to right) indicate the number of gallons that have been used. You can sign up for the Eye on Water program to help monitor your water usage. 

Have your sprinkler system installed by a professional. And remember that a backflow prevention device must be included within that installation.

Yes, water restrictions are in effect throughout the year. According to Nassau County Code, you may not water your lawn between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Check your calendar too. We follow an odd/even system, which means watering may be done only on even days if your street address is an even number, and on odd days if your address is an odd number. Non-compliance can lead to a fine.
