The Suffolk County Water Authority plans to take a more direct route to pump more water to the Town of Southold, avoiding Sound Avenue in a move officials say will save $10 million and accelerate the project by two years.Tara Smith reports in NEWSDAY that the North Fork pipeline project is intended to address water supply concerns in Southold, where water authority officials say the shallow aquifer is burdened by seasonal overpumping, saltwater intrusion and contamination.To keep pace with demand, the pipeline would connect about 9,500 customers in Southold Town to deeper supplies in the pine barrens, according to the water authority.An earlier proposal envisioning the pipeline along Sound Avenue drew sharp opposition, particularly from Riverhead residents and officials over the impacts on a key agricultural and tourism corridor where traffic backs up for miles during harvest season.Under the newly proposed route, the connection would start at the intersection of Flanders Road and County Route 105 and run north until Main Road, where a new booster station would be built at the southeast corner.From there, the pipeline would run east and connect to an existing main at Franklinville Road and Main Road in Laurel.Jeff Szabo, SCWA's chief executive officer, said the new plan was formed in response to public feedback.In a statement, SCWA Chairman Charlie Lefkowitz said the project is needed to protect water availability in the region.“It protects future ratepayers and ensures that we have a sustainable supply of high-quality drinking water for the North Fork,” Lefkowitz said.Originally projected to cost $35 million, the pipeline's new estimate is $25 million, SCWA spokesman Daniel Dubois said. The new transmission line is 1 mile shorter than the original, and officials said the shift reduces traffic and environmental impacts and could be completed in 2028 rather than 2030. Three public hearings are planned in August on the new route.Riverhead Supervisor Jerry Halpin said the town is reviewing the new route and draft environmental impact statement with its outside counsel and environmental consultant.The water authority's three hearings on the new plan and draft environmental review are scheduled for Aug. 19 at the SCWA facility on Old Riverhead Road in Westhampton Beach at 6 p.m. Aug. 20 at 5 p.m. at the Southold Town Recreation Center; and Aug. 26 at 4:30 p.m. at Riverhead Free Library. SCWA is also accepting written public comments through Sept. 11.***The Suffolk County Department of Public Works will hold a Public Information Meeting on the proposed replacement of the CR 80 Montauk Highway Bridge over the Long Island Rail Road, also known as the Hampton Bays Overpass, tomorrow, Thursday, July 30, at Southampton Town Hall, 116 Hampton Road, Southampton, NY beginning at 6 p.m.The first hour of tomorrow’s open house will be an informal discussion with county engineers, who will have graphics illustrating the work that will be done and how it will impact traffic along that eastern stretch of Montauk Highway in Hampton Bays, followed by an informational presentation from county officials at 7 p.m.That’s tomorrow evening from 6 to 8 p.m. in Southampton Town Hall.

Romaine, a Republican, has been an advocate for clean water during his tenure as county executive, and his remarks yesterday pointedly addressed comments from the State Department of Environmental Conservation in which the agency “refused to point to a source” of the contaminated water. The county’s investigation will also be expanded to test not just the groundwater, but the surface water in Georgica Pond, Hook Pond, Lily Pond and any other water bodies within the catchment area. “I want to make this clear today: All the Suffolk County Health data will be public,” Romaine said. “It will not ...
