E. Coli in Long Beach: 30,000 Bottles of Water to Be Delivered

Statement from Governor Andrew Cuomo

"Yesterday afternoon, Nassau County officials informed the State Office of Emergency Management that E. coli was found in Long Beach's drinking water supply. I immediately directed the State Office of Emergency Management to deliver 30,000 bottles of water to residents of Long Beach, and we are prepared to send more water today and tomorrow as needed. Additionally, State Health Commissioner Zucker has been in regular contact with the Nassau County health commissioner and has offered whatever assistance is needed. Nothing is more important than the health and safety of New Yorkers and we will continue to coordinate closely with local officials and provide any resources necessary until this situation is fully resolved."
