Your home has been connected to the water supply through the new polyethylene water main that was installed on the ground. The water has been tested and found to meet all health standards. It can be used for any and all purposes.

Since there has been asbestos in the water system, you should thoroughly flush out the water piping in your home.

The Water Authority recommends you do at least the following:

• Remove and clean any screens on your faucets and the connection to the appliances.

• Remove and clean the shower head.

• Run the water for a few minutes through all faucets and hose bibs.

• Drain and flush out your hot water heater.

If you should have any questions over the weekend, other than our normal business hours, please contact our emergency number at 631-665-0663. During normal business hours, you can call 631-563-0203.

Again, we thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Very truly yours,

Herman J. Miller, P.E.

Deputy CEO for Operations
