W. Hempstead WD's Wenthen Jr. Elected to NSWCA 2019 Board

January 29, 2019; West Hempstead, New York – At a recent meeting held by Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association (NSWCA), which is comprised of commissioners representing 21 water districts across Nassau and Suffolk Counties, the Association elected a new Board for the 2019 term, which runs through December 31, 2019. Sponsored by the Massapequa Water District, former NSWCA President and Massapequa Water District Commissioner Raymond J. Averna joined Massapequa Water District Commissioner Thomas P. McCarthy and Massapequa Water District Commissioner Francis J. Flood in hosting the meeting.

The newly elected NSWCA 2019 Board includes President Michael F. Rich III of Oyster Bay Water District who succeeds outgoing NSWCA President Vincent Abbatiello of Westbury Water District; 1st Vice President William Schuckmann of Hicksville Water District; 2nd Vice President Kenneth P. Wenthen Jr. of West Hempstead Water District; Secretary Amanda Field of Plainview Water District; and Treasurer Lawrence F. Zaino Jr. of Carle Place Water District.

“Speaking on behalf of this outstanding NSWCA Board, we are looking forward to a very active year in 2019,” President Rich stated. “There has been a great upsurge in interest about Long Island’s water and aquifer as well as conservation and long term sustainability, which is long overdue. Ensuring purity and supply while protecting our sole source aquifer requires continual education. As the suppliers closest to the water, the NSWCA plans expansion of our Educational Series and Seminars in 2019 to provide Commissioners from all of our 21 member districts as well as the public they serve with the latest scientific and environmental information relating to Long Island water issues and concerns.”
