Concerns over water consumption have prompted new complaints of water tanker trucks using hydrants within Southold Town to fill up.
Over the past month, town officials have received several reports from residents who have seen trucks taking water from hydrants throughout the town. Drivers, when questioned, told residents they had permits from the Suffolk County Water Authority to do so.
“They’re definitely not supposed to be doing that,” town attorney Bill Duffy said during a Town Board work session Tuesday. Mr. Duffy cited a resolution adopted by the utility in 2018 that prohibited tanker trucks between 3,000 and 8,000 gallons from using SCWA hydrants in Southold to fill up including companies with permits to use SCWA hydrants elsewhere.
Civic groups ask Town Board to take action on large houses
Sound familiar?
It does to virtually every civic group within Southold Town and they are pressuring the Town Board to take action on house size.
Members of the Orient Association, East Marion Community Association, Cutchogue Civic Association, New Suffolk Civic Association and Mattituck-Laurel Civic Association, appealed to the board during a work session Tuesday, arguing that while each hamlet organization must contend with its own unique issues, house size transcends geographical boundaries.
“We believe that house size limitation is one of the issues among many that brings together many aspects of preserving community character,” said Orient Association president Drianne Benner. “As houses grow incrementally larger, with no constraint or little constant, the nature of that community character that we love is beginning to change.”
