• What's going on right now with Orient's water supply? Quite a lot. Researchers are getting to the root of PFAS contamination in the area surrounding Village Lane. The community is debating whether a Suffolk County Water Authority pipeline should be extended to provide clean drinking water to the contaminated area. And the expected increase in saltwater intrusion into the hamlet's aquifer is also keeping residents here up at night. More than 80 people packed into Poquatuck Hall on Saturday, Oct. 25 for a three-and-a-half hour forum to discuss all of these issues. Read More.
