Schumer presented the South Farmingdale Water District (SFWD) with a check for $3.3 million due to the recent U.S. Navy reimbursement settlement as a result of plume contamination. SFWD has borrowed almost $5 million from the Town of Oyster Bay to construct Plant No. 3, a water treatment facility to filter and purify the ground water impacted by the Bethpage plume. Repaying the bond could have cost consumers $1.5 million each year over the course of the loan. In September, Schumer called on the U.S. Navy and Department of Justice (D.O.J.) to prevent significant water bill increases for Farmingdale’s thousands of residents and immediately follow through on the Navy’s years-old obligation to reimburse the SFWD for the capital costs, operating and maintenance of the water treatment facility, which was constructed at Plant No. 3, Hicksville Road, Seaford, New York. Schumer publicly said that consumers should not be on the hook for something they didn’t create.</p>"}}
