As water bills come due, East Williston and Williston Park mayors divided over rate hikes

Earlier this fall, residents of Williston Park and East Williston received their first water bills after a 33% rate increase took effect in March

Williston Park, which supplies water to both villages, voted to raise the rate to pay for a filtration system to remove harmful chemicals, like PFAS, from the drinking water to meet stricter federal standards from the Environmental Protection Agency.
