Hamptons is cracking down on DWI this summer….The Hamptons were incredibly busy for the 4th of July weekend, and with that so were the local police and the East End DWI task force. I am told from a reliable source that the East End Local Police from Montauk to Westhampton had several sobriety check points all over. If people are caught drunk driving, they will need a dui attorney springfield il, or indeed based more locally, to help with the legal fallout. At these sobriety check points, drivers were expected to complete an ETG test and submit to a breathalyzer to determine whether unsafe levels of alcohol were present in their bloodstream. You can learn more about drug tests for alcohol by checking out some of the useful resources on the Countrywide Testing website. Police officers from Suffolk and NYS troopers were recruited to help stop intoxicated drivers in the Hamptons. Police were in unmarked vehicles and it is rumored that there may have been over 35 arrests this 4th of July weekend. I am told buses were brought in to transport the arrested, but I am not sure how accurate this is, I will get more definitive information and updates in due course.

DWI Task Force will be adding checkpoints this summer SO BEWARE! DON’T DRINK & DRIVE, IT IS NOT WORTH THE CONSEQUENCES….I have been told a DUI could cost you as much as $10,000 in the Hamptons…. The penalties vary from state to state so if you find yourself facing legal recourse for your actions behind the wheel, it may be wise to get hold of a lawyer to defend your rights. Those in NJ may want to reach out to the Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall – Click here to contact.

If you are going to go out for a good time and drinking is involved make sure you have a designated driver for the evening, arrange for car service, hire a designated driver or stay where you are for the night. If you are the kind of person who simply can’t stay sober then you might want to consider whether or not you may have a problem with alcoholism – there are rehab programs in place, like those of Enterhealth, to help those struggling with managing their booze intake so if you feel you could fall into this category, it might be worth looking into. Police departments across Suffolk County and the East End DWI Task Force are cracking down on drunk driving and boating and will be conducting additional checkpoints aimed at cracking down on drunken and drug impaired drivers and boaters.

Top 7 reasons to stay informed on the Suffolk County Water Quality Crisis:

“70% of the nitrogen pollution in the Great South Bay comes from unsewered residential properties,” said Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone. “Suffolk County has 360,000 unsewered homes, which is more than the entire state of New Jersey.

1) Nitrogen is the number one threat to Suffolk County’s ground and surface waters.
2) Nitrogen is polluting our aquifers, our sole source of drinking water here on Long Island.
3) Nitrogen pollution of our waters threatens Suffolk County’s public health and safety.
4) Nitrogen is decimating our wetlands and marshes, killing off our last natural line of defense against storms like Superstorm Sandy.
5) Nitrogen is polluting our bays, rivers and waterways, killing off sea life and threatening the future recreational use of our world class beaches.
6) Polluted waters have already destroyed a once booming clamming industry and threatens to destroy our multi billion dollar tourist industry.
7) Poor water quality hinders our potential for future economic development throughout the county

I am not sure where the Hamptons falls in this potential water crisis, I know that Sag Harbor Village is offering a rebate and incentive program for 50% for anyone with waterfront property in the village who upgrade their failing septic system. Rebates would be limited to 50 percent of the total cost of the work with total reimbursements, depending on the extent and type of work, capped at $2,500 to $6,000. A typical septic system would cost approximately $5,000. The village is spending $50,000 on the program, and states if it is successful they will continue it next year. Hopefully all parties involved will come to an agreement and the program will be voted on at the next meeting in July 2014.

Ultimately, it is undeniable that water supply issues can have a significant impact on businesses. For those that are willing to opt for an upgrade septic system installation, they will likely be better off, but for those that don’t, they may suffer even more. Moreover, no one wants to feel that they are paying too much for a water supply that is inadequate. Consequently, if you are unhappy with your water supplier, it might be wise to reach out to a water consultant to determine your next steps. Whether you want to simply lower your water bill or secure refunds for water supply and wastewater overcharging, a team of water consultants can help your business to find a water solution that works for you. Tempted to learn more? Why not do some research online so that you can see how easy it is to switch your water supplier? Above all, there is always a possibility that contacting a water consultant could save your business a significant amount of money and time so do not be afraid to compare some of the different water suppliers out there to address your specific needs.
