Boil Water Advisory Lifted for Dix Hills Water District
County rescinds directive after coliform bacteria tests of 21 samples taken yesterday produce negative results
The Suffolk County Department of Health Services today lifted its directive that a Boil Water Notice be issued for the Dix Hills Water District, after 21 samples taken Saturday, December 31, 2011, all tested negative for coliform bacteria.
The County's action confirms that the District's water is safe for consumption without boiling.
Late last week, after samples taken Dec. 27 and 28 detected total coliform bacteria in the distribution system, officials of the Dix Hills Water District began chlorination and, as a precaution and in accordance with the directives of the Health Department, hand-delivered notices to the District's 8,000 customers informing them of the results and giving information about coliform bacteria in water and instructions about boiling water.
Subsequent testing, beginning after the Dec. 28 test and before chlorination started, and all tests since, have proven negative for coliform bacteria. The Dix Hills Water District, its Consulting Engineer and its State-approved Laboratory are investigating the situation. The Suffolk County Department of Health Services is also investigating the source of the contamination in the samples. The District is continuing the chlorination.
Residents seeking additional information are asked to contact District Superintendent John Hennessey at (631) 421-1812 or Jason Hime, PE, Office of Drinking Water of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services at (631) 852-5779.

Town Waives Adoption Fees at Animal Shelter
Trying to make the holiday season merrier for residents of the Town and the Town Animal Shelter, the Town Board has waived the $80 adoption fee between now and Dec. 31.
Approximately 60 dogs at the shelter are available for adoption, with a mix of ages, sizes and breeds. In waiving the fee, the Town hopes to encourage persons looking a dog as part of their holiday shopping to consider those at the shelter who are in need of new homes.
People adopting dogs will still have to pay the $15 licensing fee and $8.50 charge for a rabies shot. All dogs will have been spayed or neutered before they are sent home.
