Old cesspools were simple concrete holes allowing raw sewage to seep directly into groundwater. Suffolk County banned new cesspool installations in 2019 because they contribute nitrogen pollution that degrades local water quality and causes harmful algae blooms.
New systems required since 2019 include septic tanks that separate solids and treat wastewater before soil discharge. This reduces nitrogen pollution by up to 70% and protects Head of the Harbor’s groundwater and nearby waterways.
New systems cost more upfront but provide better environmental protection and often qualify for county grants. They also increase property values and ensure compliance with current environmental regulations.
