From Lawrence and Cedarhurst to Woodmere, Hewlett, and Inwood, homeowners throughout the Five Towns are paying more attention than ever to the quality of the water coming from their taps.
Like all of Nassau County, the Five Towns relies entirely on Long Island’s underground aquifer system for its drinking water. Unlike many parts of the country that draw water from reservoirs, rivers, or lakes, Long Island residents depend exclusively on groundwater beneath their feet.
While local water suppliers work hard to meet state and federal drinking water standards, many homeowners are choosing to add another layer of protection and peace of mind in their own homes. Concerns about contaminants such as PFAS (“forever chemicals”), 1,4-dioxane, disinfection byproducts, and other emerging water quality issues have prompted many residents to explore advanced water filtration options.
Long Island Clean Water Service has seen growing interest from Five Towns homeowners who want cleaner, better-tasting water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and protecting their plumbing fixtures and appliances.
“Many of our customers first contact us because they don’t like the taste or odor of their water,” says Mark Shmidt, founder and president of Long Island Clean Water Service. “But after a complimentary water analysis, they often learn more about their water and decide they want additional treatment beyond what’s provided by the municipal system.”
How Five Towns Homeowners Benefit from Water Treatment Systems
The company, which has been serving Long Island families for more than 40 years, begins with a free in-home water test and consultation. Based on the results, homeowners may choose solutions ranging from drinking water filtration systems to whole-house water treatment systems designed to address specific concerns.
For Five Towns residents, the benefits often go beyond drinking water quality. Homeowners frequently report:
- Better-tasting water for coffee, tea, and cooking
- Reduced chlorine taste and odor
- Cleaner fixtures and glassware
- Improved water for bathing and laundry
- Greater confidence in the water their families consume every day
As awareness of Long Island’s water challenges continues to grow, many homeowners are taking a proactive approach. Rather than waiting for future regulations or treatment upgrades, they’re investing in their own home’s water quality today.
“People in the Five Towns care about their homes and their families,” says Shmidt. “When they learn more about their water, they often decide that having cleaner, better-quality water throughout the house is a worthwhile investment.”
