Water District is located in the central part of eastern Nassau
County, NY and services the community of Bethpage as well as small
portions of Old Bethpage, Plainview, South Farmingdale, Hicksville
and Levittown. This area spans 5.5 square miles and services

District's maximum well pumping capacity is 11,200 gallons per

The district now has three storage tanks, which store 4.25 million

established in 1923 as Central Park Water District until 1936, when
the town changed its name to Bethpage. |
