 Introduced  by Sen. GAUGHRAN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
   printed to be committed to the Committee on Corporations,  Authorities
   and Commissions
 
 AN  ACT  to  amend  the public authorities law and the general municipal
   law, in relation to establishing the North Shore water authority

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that the
 groundwater supply system presently operated by a private utility in the
 northwest  portion  of  the Nassau county servicing the residents of the
 village of Sea Cliff, and portions of the  village  of  Old  Brookville,
 village of Roslyn Harbor, and residents in the unincorporated hamlets of
 Glenwood  Landing,  Glen  Head and the city of Glen Cove, is fragile and
 subject to episodic deficiencies of varying magnitude including  service
 disruptions  and  drastic  price variations to residents serviced by the
 existing private water company. The groundwater supply  requires  better
 management of its entire reserve both within and outside the water util-
 ity  supply area as well as long range planning to provide protection of
 important watershed  areas,  water  conservation,  and  prevention  from
 contamination  and salt water intrusion. Since the potable water for the
 northern portion of the North Shore peninsula is derived from an aquifer
 which is the sole source of water for all of Long Island, the issues  of
 contamination and conservation are of statewide concern. The problems of
 salt  water  intrusion facing the North Shore peninsula, face many other
 peninsulas on Long Island and many of the barrier islands. It  is  hoped
 that  the  authority created by this act will not only protect, preserve
 and enhance the quality and quantity of  the  water  within  its  supply
 area,  but that it will also serve as a model and as a leader in foster-
 ing cooperation with other water suppliers to  better  manage,  conserve
 and protect the groundwater within and outside its supply area.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
