Southampton Police Reports for the Week of July 25

SOUTHAMPTON VILLAGE — A Hill Street resident asked Southampton Village Police to make note of a “suspicious incident” on her street.

Holding Pattern

No one would argue that downtown Hampton Bays needs to change if the business district is to survive. It’s just a question of how to get there. Southampton Town officials, members of the hamlet’s civic groups, business owners and even private developers have been talking about the revitalization of the business district for years, coming close to a framework a few years ago before the plan was challenged and tossed out by the courts. There have been plenty of missteps along the way — including an unfortunate faux pas by a consultant that included language in a contract with the ... by Editorial Board

Get Off the List

Publishing a list of the top residential water users on the South Fork each summer has become a tradition for The Express News Group. It’s an unenviable list to be on and was given the name “Water Hogs of the Hamptons” with the express purpose of getting under the skin of the homeowners who use as much as 100 times the amount of water as the average household, perhaps influencing them to rein in their water use. Despite the misconception that the Suffolk County Water Authority puts out this list annually, “Water Hogs” is this organization’s initiative, using data obtained ... by Editorial Board
