Community Picnic:
On September 1st, the Village of Old Westbury held its annual Community Picnic at the Old Westbury Gardens. The Village Board thanks all of our residents who attended for a great community gathering!
A special thanks to Old Westbury Gardens President Nancy Costopulos and her staff for helping us make this such a successful night. We’d also like to recognize the Wheatley School’s string quartet and the team of Caroline Purr and Charlie Falcon for their wonderful performances throughout the night.
We look forward to seeing you in the future all at our next Village event!

Water Improvements:
The water source for the Village of Old Westbury is pumped from six wells located throughout the community. Due to our water system’s reconstruction and upgrades over these past several years, the Village’s system is the most modern and robust in Nassau.
The installment of a backup generator at Well House No.3 will be complete by this November. This generator will assist the Village by hardening the systems reliability and will ensure the continuation of reliable water service throughout the Village.
