Election Results
Voters in both Nassau and Suffolk counties have spoken at the polls and elected or re-elected water commissioners in all commissioner-run water districts. The Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association (NSWCA), which consists of water commissioners representing 21 Long Island water districts, congratulates and welcomes newly elected and re-elected commissioners who will serve three-year terms beginning January 1, 2018, which runs through December 31, 2020.
There are three water district commissioner positions and district elections for one position are held annually. District residents vote for one commissioner of the three commissioner positions each year.
Outgoing Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association (NSWCA) President and Plainview Water District Commissioner Andrew Bader commented, “We are extremely pleased to welcome our new and returning colleagues to the NSWCA. Commissioner-run water districts enable all registered residents to express their opinions and personal preferences for the men and women of their choice through the voting process. This hyper-local voting basis enables communities to effectively ensure that the vote of every resident truly counts, and that goals such as sustainability, water quality and economics match the views and opinions of each individual community.”NSWCA_Collage_2017[1]
