The Hicksville Water District Board of Commissioners Karl M. Schweitzer, William J. Schuckmann and Nicholas Brigandi recognizes that proactive planning is crucial to the District’s long-term success. Therefore, the Commissioners have begun to review the Master Plan for the next five years with respect to water quality, water quantity, infrastructure condition and financial resources.
The District’s Master Plan ensures that all current and future drinking water needs are met. A review of all 11 plants and additional District facilities is conducted to develop a list of necessary improvement projects. The plan will include updated schedules and cost predictions for maintaining and upgrading infrastructure and operations.
“The District is looking forward to paving the way for Hicksville Water’s next five years and beyond,” said Chairman Karl M. Schweitzer. “Our thorough planning is taken very seriously as it will benefit our community’s water supply in the long run. With good planning comes savings, which makes the District fiscally strong. The District is very conscious of water costs and makes sure that Hicksville residents get the highest water quality for lowest possible cost.”
In addition, the Master Plan ensures the community’s tax dollars are used to maintain high water quality and continuously improve service for consumers. The Board of Commissioners strives to maintain the lowest possible water bills for Hicksville residents by investing tax revenue in the most effective and responsible way. The five-year capital plan helps the District uphold a tradition of keeping rates as low as possible.
The District plans to hold a Public Forum in May to update its residents on their planning efforts. Details will be made available as the date approaches.
