The East Hampton House & Garden Tour, in its 38th year, was held Thanksgiving weekend, offering access to five stunning East Hampton homes. The event benefits the East Hampton Historical Society, which reports that the tour was attended by hundreds and sold out earlier than ever.

This year’s tour was dedicated to the memory of Joseph Aversano, a member of the East Hampton Historical Society Board of Trustees.

“Joseph chaired the house tour for over a decade, putting his inimitable stamp on the festivities so that now it’s one of our biggest fundraisers of the year,” said Steve Long, the executive director of the East Hampton Historical Society. “All proceeds will support the East Hampton Historical Society’s museums and vital educational programming for hundreds of students each month.”

To kick off the tour, a cocktail party took place at the Maidstone Club on Friday, attended by history buffs, local dignitaries, architects, interior designers, home enthusiasts and design aficionados.

Suffolk County Water Authority Reports Successful Conservation Efforts

The Suffolk County Water Authority reports that its water conservation efforts were successful during one of the hottest summers on record. SCWA stated that it successfully managed water demand without experiencing the stress typically seen during peak summer usage. “In past years, SCWA often faced peak demands up to 540,000 gallons per minute (gpm),” the water authority shared. “This summer, however, demand never exceeded 520,000 gpm and rarely surpassed 510,000 gpm.” SCWA credits this to customers embracing water conservation measures, particularly the odd/even lawn watering schedule. “This proven approach significantly reduces water demand without compromising lawn health,” the water authority ... 1 Oct 2024 by Staff Writer
