The Water Authority of Great Neck North (hereinafter referred to as
the "Authority") has been established as a public benefit corporation, under
Article 5, Title 8-B, of the Public Authorities Law, to provide potable water
to the area within Union Free School District No. 7, Great Neck, lying northerly
of the north line of Manhasset-Lakeville Water District, which is situated
within the Town of North Hempstead (hereinafter referred to as the "town").
The State Legislature found, in establishing the Authority, that the groundwater
supply system presently operated by Citizens Water Supply Company of Newtown,
a private utility in the northern portion of the Great Neck peninsula, is
fragile and subject to episodic deficiencies of varying magnitude; and it
was hoped that the Authority would protect, preserve and enhance the quality
and quantity of the water supply area. The Authority has applied to the town
for a nonexclusive franchise to transmit and distribute potable water on,
in, under and through all streets within the town in order to carry out the
purposes for which it was created and the duties with which it has been charged.
The town believes that it is in the best interests of the town and that it
will promote the health, safety and welfare of its inhabitants to grant the
franchise applied for.
