History

The Great Neck Water Pollution Control District was established in 1914.^[2][3] A major upgrade project took place in 1990, during which the district's sewage treatment capacity was increased to 3.8 million gallons per day.^[3]

In the 2010s and 2020s, plans were made to connect Plandome Road in Manhasset to the Great Neck Water Pollution Control District's sanitary sewers.^[4][5][6][7] Similar proposals have been discussed for decades but were historically met with opposition, which killed some of the previous proposals to sewer the area.^[4][5][6] The planned project is supported by the district.^[8]

In 2019, ground was broken on the extension project connecting the Americana Manhasset to the Great Neck Water Pollution Control District's sanitary sewers.^[9]

In 2021, a $150,000 grant was awarded to the district in order for it to conduct a sewer feasibility study for connecting unsewered areas of Great Neck Estates and Harbor Hills to the sewer system.^[10]
