Date Range
1982 – 1982
Title
Extension of East Hampton Water Pipeline to Montauk
What occurred
Due to an increasing population, aquifer drying up, and saltwater intrusion, Montauk and East Hampton reached an agreement and extended the East Hampton water pipeline to Montauk. Although the Concerned Citizens of Montauk fought against this decision, they were instrumental in making sure that there would be no future contamination as the pipeline was being built/extended.
