T
he Port Washington Water District (PWWD) has received a compliance deferral from New York State, which will allow the District the needed time to design and construct the treatment systems to remove 1,4-dioxane. The state will only grant the two-year compliance deferral to water providers that have an action plan to construct advanced oxidation process (AOP) treatment system, which is required to meet the State’s new maximum contaminant level (MCL) for 1,4-dioxane. “The district’s goal is to keep the impacted wells offline by requiring the community to reduce irrigation by 20 percent while we work aggressively to get the needed treatment systems up and running,” David Brackett, chairman of the PWWD, said. “The compliance deferral is a proactive measure reserved for extreme weather or emergency circumstances.” See rest of the story on page 4 Port Washington News (USPS 438-940) Postmaster: Send address changes to Long Island Community Newspapers, P.O.
