A plan to privatize Nassau
County’s sewage treatment plants – Cedar Creek and Bay Park – was
presented to county legislators by the County’s Office of Management and
Budget last October. The county is evaluating a public–private partnership
transaction, that may consist of a concession or lease as well as the
possibility of a sale or transfer of the sewer system to a private
concern. Many in the community
expressed worry over the privatization. As one resident stated "We have
AQUA water that we're trying to transfer from a private company to the
government, and a sewage plant that we're trying to transfer from the
government to a private company. What's going on?" For more information, please visit:
