• The Suffolk County Water Authority issued a Stage 1 Water Alert Wednesday, July 23 for all 1.2 million customers it serves. “We need our customers to take immediate action to reduce their water use,” said SCWA Chairman of the Board Charlie Lefkowitz in a media alert Wednesday morning. “Water is a limited resource, especially during peak summer demand, and we need to ensure there’s enough available for critical needs like fire protection.” Read More.

• As the Southold Town Board begins to digest comments it received on a first draft of its Zoning Update earlier this summer, the board seems inclined, at the urging of the business community, to reverse the draft’s removal of several uses from a new zoning district it had created to prevent the outward sprawl of hamlet centers. The Town Board discussed the possibilities at its work session Tuesday. Read More.
