Fishers Island Billing System Update

The customers spoke, and we have listened. The Fishers Island Utility Company is happy to announce that as of November 2016 we will be converting to a new billing system!

This will allow customers to have their monthly bills sent to them. For those who do not like receiving emails, there still is an option to view your bill online, as well as pay it online.

Well Progress Summer 2016

On Monday, August 15, 2016, the Water Works joined with Subsurface Technologies, Inc. to begin a two week process of cleaning Sima Well 1, which is one of the two wells currently in use on Fishers Island.

The Fishers Island Water Works superintendent, Chad Mrowka, is proud to announce that he has already seen major progress in the cleaning of Sima Well 1.

The short video below is an example of the great progress we’ve made so far.

Changes on How to Dial Locally

The FCC now requires Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) in our area code (631) due to the new area code (934) overlay recently added to Suffolk County.

Fishers Island is now ten digit compliant.

What this means to you…

When calling locally, you must dial 10 digits.

Example:  631-788-7001

When calling long distance, including the 631 area code off the Island, you must first dial (1) + area code + calling number.

Please contact our office, 631-788-7001, with any questions

Value of Water

Heather Himmelberger did a TED Talk on this issue in September 2014. As the Director of the Southwest Environmental Finance Center at the University of New Mexico, Heather focuses on finding better ways to manage and pay for public water systems. Public water managers provide our communities with a resource upon which all else depends. Clean, reliable water and the infrastructure that supports it is something many in our society take for granted. Ms.Himmelberger sees upcoming water issues of quality, quantity, and infrastructure as an opportunity to invest in a sustainable water future and choose to put water first.
