Experts will be on hand April 10 for a special WaterTalk at the Mastic Recreation Center beginning at 6 p.m. Hosted by the Suffolk County Water Authority, the event will provide an opportunity for residents to learn more about their drinking water and interact with the experts.

Anyone interested in the topic of water who cannot attend can view the event virtually with the link available at www.scwa.com. The water provider, which serves 1.2 million Suffolk residents, can also be reached by email at WaterTalk@scwa.org.

“The Suffolk County Water Authority is passionate about fostering a dialogue with our residents to help them better understand the services we provide,” said SCWA Chairman Charles Lefkowitz. “WaterTalks provides them with the opportunity to ask questions, which is especially important at a time when news about water quality is never far from the ears of Long Islanders. We look forward to seeing residents from Mastic and the surrounding area at this upcoming event.”

The WaterTalk series features a panel of experts who discuss topics such as drinking water quality, the ways in which the SCWA is implementing new infrastructure to improve water service and quality, the importance of conservation, and more. During the discussion, attendees are invited to ask questions.

“Water is Suffolk County’s most precious natural resource, and SCWA officials hope attendees come away from this event with increased knowledge about their water and increased trust in the product being delivered to their homes,” said Authority Director Jeff Szabo.

Residents who are interested in attending the SCWA WaterTalk can register by emailing WaterTalk@scwa.org. Residents who would prefer to attend virtually can do so at www.scwa.com.
