45 Homes Slated for Long-Awaited Sewer Connections
Sea Cliff, NY · September 19, 2026
Weekend easels and sidewalk chatter are already taking over the avenues this morning. Keep an extra layer handy before stepping out to browse.
The Lead
Four residential streets will soon connect to municipal wastewater infrastructure under a newly announced $6.5 million sewer expansion project. The initiative covers 2,860 linear feet of piping across Prospect Avenue, Winding Way, The Drive, and Park Way, tying 45 individual homes into the village sanitary system.
Supported by $4 million in Nassau County bond authorizations alongside a $1.1 million federal Community Project Funding grant, the work tackles one of the North Shore’s most persistent environmental hurdles by eliminating aging private cesspools and septic tanks. For bluff-side homeowners, the change removes ongoing maintenance burdens and chronic overflow risks while significantly curbing nitrogen runoff into Hempstead Harbor. Village officials and engineering teams will spend the fall and winter completing utility mapping and easement reviews before breaking ground next year.
