The South Farmingdale Water District has announced the appointment of Gary Brosnan to the position of Water Commissioner. Brosnan will serve as secretary, and his long history of community service and clear knowledge of issues affecting the district amply qualify him for his new duties, said water district officials.

Brosnan has been a volunteer for the North Massapequa Fire Department for 25 years, eight of those years he served as Fire Chief. His commitment to the community and its residents is exemplified in his volunteer work, and he's lived in the North Massapequa for 40 years.

A soft-spoken man with a strong vision of the

job ahead, Brosnan said, "Of the many responsibilities on my desk, I consider one of the most pressing tasks is to work with the government, the Department of Defense and our legal team to carry out the project of a filtration system to protect our future water supply. South Farmingdale Water District continues to be ranked among the top water suppliers by national standards, and we are committed to maintaining this level of service indefinitely." He added that he was honored to be appointed Commissioner and Secretary, and felt privileged to be in a

position where he could play an active role in providing the best water service and product possible.
