Sanitary Sewer Project
Over the past decade, the Village of Sea Cliff has invested millions of dollars in sanitary sewer projects. We are currently applying for an assortment of grants to continue this worthy environmental effort.
The first project was along The Boulevard to be able to abandon use of cesspools by the properties closest to our beach and waterways. After that project, the Village installed sewer lines on Sea Cliff Avenue from Main Avenue to Prospect Avenue and Roslyn Avenue from 15th Avenue to Sea Cliff Avenue, this was not only for environmental reasons but for business development.
Most recently a project was completed connecting the properties as follows:
- Prospect Avenue from Sea Cliff Avenue down to Carpenter Avenue (aka Snake Hill) where it will connects to the existing sewer line on the Boulevard which goes to the treatment plant in Glen Cove.
- Maple Avenue - from Roslyn Avenue to Prospect Avenue
- 12th Avenue – from Roslyn Avenue to Prospect Avenue
- Summit Avenue – from 8th Avenue to Sea Cliff Avenue
- Fairview Place – from dead end to Prospect Avenue
- 8th Avenue – from Roslyn Avenue to Prospect Avenue
- 7th Avenue - from Park Way to Prospect Avenue
- Central Avenue - from Summit Avenue to 8th Avenue
- Maple Avenue - from Roslyn Avenue to Prospect Avenue
- 7th Avenue - from Summit Avenue to Prospect Avenue
While it is the ultimate goal to connect every property in Sea Cliff to a sanitary sewer line, it will take time due to fiscal constraints. It was decided many years ago that the priority would be our Business District and the properties closest to our waterfront for environmental reasons. Further, all current plans are for properties that can be serviced via gravity lines as pumping stations are cost prohibitive at this time.
All properties that can connect to a sewer line will have had a house connection put at their property line by the street. This house connection is at a location and depth that will closely line up with the existing line coming out of your house. The connection from a private abode to the connection at the street can be done by any qualified plumber hired by the property owner at the property owner’s expense.
All properties that are part of the sewer design will be required by Nassau County to connect within two (2) years of the sewer becoming operational. Additionally, these properties will become part of the Nassau County Sewer District and will be taxed accordingly.
If your property is in the sewer district and you want to connect, the Building Department can assist you. You will need to submit an application to both Sea Cliff and Nassau County on the appropriate application form (see below).
There are modern septic systems that are environmentally sensitive, and Nassau County is offering grants of up to $20,000, for property owners that install them
