As reported on 27east.com, SCWA noted that the utility currently has two public water supply wells offline in East Hampton and two additional wells operating on emergency protocol only. “The loss of these two offline wells removes 8% of the total water production capacity in the area, significantly hindering the ability to meet peak summer demand,” SCWA stated. “With high overnight and early morning water use driven by irrigation systems, water storage tanks are beginning the day at low levels and require more time to refill. Low tank levels reduce system pressure, which lowers water flow to homes and limits water availability for fire protection.”SCWA is collaborating with Suffolk County to ensure that water pressure is maintained through this holiday weekend. “As we face extreme heat and dry conditions, I urge all East End residents to conserve water whenever possible,” Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine said. “Simple steps taken today will help protect our water supply and ensure this vital resource remains available for our communities throughout the summer.”SCWA is asking residents to only water their lawns if absolutely necessary and to take practical steps to conserve water indoors. East Hampton Town Supervisor Kathee Burke-Gonzalez added: “East Hampton is being asked to pull together right now. I am imploring residents, businesses, and visitors to skip lawn watering unless it is absolutely necessary, follow the odd-even schedule, and avoid watering between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The town is doing its part by cutting back on outdoor water use at our facilities, and we are grateful to the Suffolk County Water Authority and Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine for working with us to protect public safety, and fire protection through the holiday weekend.”For details and indoor and outdoor water-saving methods, visit scwa.com/conservation.***Beth Young reports in EAST END BEACON that tonight is First Friday on Love Lane in Mattituck — the street will be closed to vehicles, shops will remain open late and street vendors will take over Mattituck’s historic shopping district from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Then tomorrow, the 4th of July, the kickoff concert of the Mattituck Park District’s summer concert series — The Eagle River Band, an Eagles tribute band, will play from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Veteran’s Beach.Also, on the north fork tomorrow, the Old Town Arts & Crafts Guild holds its Fine Arts, Crafts & Antique Fair on the Cutchogue Village Green from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.***As Long Island is about to celebrate America’s semi-quincentennial this weekend, Suffolk County officials yesterday ignited a vehicle using pyrotechnics to demonstrate ...
