Water will be the topic of interest at the next Mattituck-Laurel Civic Association meeting.
A panel of speakers will discuss ways to protect and preserve the drinking water aquifer and the region’s diverse water bodies.
The panel will include Suffolk County Legislator Al Krupski, who has been an outspoken advocate of implementing advanced wastewater treatment systems in Suffolk in order to reduce nitrogen pollution of groundwater by standard septic systems.
It will also include Glynis Berry, executive director of Peconic Green Growth, a nonprofit organization that has studied the impacts of standard septic systems on the groundwater aquifer and the feasibility of advanced wastewater systems, and Ronald Paulson, a hydrologist at the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, which has regulatory authority over wastewater systems in Suffolk.
The meeting will take place on Monday, Feb. 27 at 6:30 p.m. at the American Legion Hall in Mattituck.
