The West Hempstead Water District has delivered a reliable and high-quality water supply to the residents, businesses and schools of the community since 1926. Our water is pumped from wells drilled into the Magothy Aquifer beneath Long Island. Our three storage tanks have a total capacity of 3.1 million gallons and we maintain 75 miles of water mains and 579 fire hydrants.

The District encompasses approximately two square miles, including the majority of West Hempstead, all of Garden City South and a large portion of Franklin Square, serving over 32,000 people.
