A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT

murphyYour Great Neck Water Pollution Control District Commissioners and I are pleased to bring you this website report on the operation of your District.
The biggest challenge for the District is to maintain and protect our special environment including our groundwater system, Manhasset Bay and Long Island Sound.
Every task we undertake is based on addressing this challenge.
On this website, you will find a number of projects and systems in place illustrating these efforts.
Another challenge all municipal facilities are facing is that of security. The District has installed an access control system that monitors and electronically allows only District employees with the proper level of security clearance into its buildings.
In addition, all residents should be aware that each of our employees has photo identification badges, distinctive blue uniforms with the District logo, and will be driving orange District vehicles. If you have any question about anyone who comes to your residence, or is accessing District Building please call the District offices at 516-482-0238 for verification of their authenticity.
This report also includes information on the 2006 GNWPCD budget. The full budget is public record and available at the District office or the Town Hall of North Hempstead.
Thank you for your interest and continued cooperation in helping all of us maintain and protect our environment.

Superintendent,
Christopher D. Murphy
