As a result of local elections, water commissioners have been elected by voters in 21 Long Island water districts. All elected commissioners will begin their three-year terms effective January 1, 2020. Long Island water commissioners who have been newly elected or re-elected by Long Island voters, are being welcomed as members of the Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association (NSWCA).
 
NSWCA President and Oyster Bay Water District Commissioner Michael F. Rich III commented on the election results. “Once again, voters used the opportunity to cast their ballots for the men or women of their choice in meaningful local elections,” he said. “Since commissioners are elected, not appointed, and must reside in their respective districts, this is an excellent example of local control by each community at work. I am extremely pleased to welcome both our new and returning colleagues to NSWCA.”
