Port Washington Water District

Here is an at-a-glance look at Port Washington Water District:

All PWWD Water comes from 12 District wells.
All groundwater pumped to the distribution system from the operating District wells complies with New York State Department of Health standards for public drinking water.
Port water is stored in 2 elevated tanks of 1 million and 250,000 gallon capacities each, and 2 underground tanks of 1 million and 22 million gallons each.
PWWD is one of the oldest water districts on Long Island, chartered in 1913.
The District has approximately 147 miles of water mains ranging from 4" to 24" in diameter.
The District has and maintains more than 1,250 Fire Hydrants throughout the District.
The District serves an area of 6 square miles including Port Washington, Manorhaven, Port Washington North, Baxter Estates and parts of Flower Hill and Plandome Manor.
Your District maintains emergency connection facilities with the Sands Point, Roslyn and Manhasset-Lakeville Water Districts.
Your District serves an average of 9,250 customers with approximately billion gallons of water annually.
