New Initiative Aimed to Promote Water Conservation throughout Plainview-Old Bethpage
The Plainview Water District (PWD) is proud to announce the launch of its innovative Blue Business Partner Program, an initiative aimed at recognizing and supporting local businesses that prioritize water conservation and environmental sustainability. This free program provides businesses with resources, recognition, and incentives to implement water-saving measures and demonstrate leadership in environmental stewardship.
“The Blue Business Partner Program reflects the Plainview Water District’s commitment to conserving our most precious resource and building a sustainable future for the Plainview-Old Bethpage community,” said PWD Commissioner Marc Laykind. “By working together with local businesses, we can recognize those who are following best practices and can make a meaningful impact on our water usage while fostering environmental awareness in our community.”
The Blue Business Partner Program encourages businesses to adopt best practices and technologies to reduce water consumption. Participating businesses will receive official program certificates and stickers to display at their establishments, acknowledgment on PWD’s website and social media channels, and the opportunity to be celebrated as leaders of sustainability within the Plainview-Old Bethpage community.
“Our local businesses have always been at the heart of the POB community, and this program is an opportunity to showcase their leadership,” said PWD Commissioner Andrew Bader “The District is thrilled to collaborate with businesses that share our vision of a sustainable and water-conscious Plainview-Old Bethpage.”
The program not only supports the shared environment but also benefits participants directly by helping them reduce operating costs through smarter water management. PWD hopes this program will inspire widespread participation, strengthening the community’s collective efforts to conserve water. Businesses that participate in the program will serve as leaders in sustainability, setting a new standard for responsible water usage.
“Preserving our environment and sole-source aquifer is a shared responsibility, and our Blue Business Partner Program empowers businesses to be part of the solution,” said PWD Commissioner Michael Chad. “PWD encourages any local businesses that are interested to take part in this great initiative. If any businesses or residents have any questions about their water usage or the program itself, we are more than happy to assist.”
Participation in the Blue Business Partner Program is free and easy. Businesses interested in joining can visit https://plainviewwater.org/blue-business-program/ for more information.
