Dear Gulf Stream Residents:
October 5, 1989
For over two years our Town, as well as other municipalities, have
been mandated to prepare a State required Comprehensive Plan. We
are happy to report that the only portion of that Plan that has
been found not to be in compliance with State requirements is the
excessive amount of potable water the town is using for home
consumption and irrigation purposes.
The State has told us our excessive use of water must be drastically
reduced. They are not speaking of a temporary reduction but are,
in fact, advising that from this day forward we must reduce our
usage measurably.
For a number of years many of us have used town water rather than
wells for irrigation purposes. As a matter of fact, close to 907 of
our metered water is used this way. If we do not curtail the amount
of potable water we are currently using we face severe State action.
To accomplish this reduction we are asking all residents to
immediately restrict their watering to two days per week. We have
been told by several landscapers that two days of watering per week
is sufficient to maintain our foliage.
If we cannot cut water use to meet State requirements by voluntary
mesures we will have no choice but to enact strict requirements to
meet the State Statutes.
On behalf of the Town Commission I thank you for your help and
cooperation in this matter.
