Nassau County still in search for private financier for sewage treatment plants

In what can probably be called a venting session, Third District Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages (D-Elmont) held a community meeting at the Elmont Memorial Library on the proposed sewer privatization of Nassau County’s sewer treatment plants on May 15.

Solages, along with fellow Democratic Legislator Dave Denenberg (D-Merrick), chastised the county for failing to disclose contract particulars with consultant Morgan Stanley and recently announced New Jersey-based United Water (UW) as the county’s pick for the operation and maintenance of its sewage system. The two feel transparency is needed, especially in the wake of the Nassau County Legislature’s decision to close four of the county’s eight police precincts.
