"With the boil water notice on Long Beach still in effect and with the influx of people to the area to celebrate Pride earlier today, I directed State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker to send in a team to work with Nassau County and the City of Long Beach to find the source of contamination and directed the State Office of Emergency Management to deliver an additional 85,000 bottles of water to the area. This deployment is on top of the 30,000 bottles of water the State distributed earlier this weekend to support residents on Long Beach. Dr. Zucker and his team remain in constant communication with Nassau County health officials and have offered whatever assistance is needed. Our number one priority is the health and safety of New Yorkers, and we will provide clean drinking water to the people of Long Beach and continue working hand in glove with local leaders to provide whatever resources are needed until this situation is fully resolved."
