Oak Neck and Pine Island.
Wikipedia says the Matinecock land called Oak Neck and Pine Island was bought by Daniel Whitehead in 1658, mostly grew asparagus in the 1700s, and was renamed Bayville in 1859. The village incorporated in 1919, its population doubled from 1950 to 1960, and the Bayville Bridge, one of only two ways in, opened in 1938. It covers 1.5 square miles.
The Census Bureau's latest five-year survey counts about 2,900 homes, with a median year built of 1966. 16% went up in the 1950s, 16% before 1940, and 29% after 1980. 86% are single-family detached houses, and 87% are owner-occupied.
So a typical house here has drain and water lines around 60 years old unless they've been replaced. Slow drains in several fixtures, a gurgling floor drain or rusty water from one tap are signs to have the main line and supply piping checked.
Oil to gas means new gas piping.
The ACS shows 74% of homes heat with utility gas and 18% with fuel oil. Switching means properly sized gas piping to the new equipment, and often to the water heater, range and dryer. We do the gas line work. We don't sell or deliver oil.
Cesspools and septic, mostly.
Nassau County's health department list of sewer collection districts shows Bayville as not publicly sewered, so expect a cesspool or septic system. We clear the line from the house, but a full or failing cesspool is a job for a cesspool or septic contractor; we don't do cesspool work, and we don't install septic systems.
Flood risk.
Laying FEMA's current flood map over the Census boundary, about 44% of Bayville is in the high-risk (1% annual chance) flood zone (26.3% in zone AE, 13.8% in zone VE, 3.4% in zone AO; shares of the Census area, water included). If your water heater or gas appliances ever sat in flood water, have them checked before relighting.
Water: Village of Bayville's water system.
EPA's service-area map puts essentially all residents on the Village of Bayville's water system; your bill is the final word. The main supplier's most recent 90th-percentile lead result was 1.9 ppb, under the 15 ppb action level; lead usually comes from a home's own pipes and fixtures, so results vary house to house. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing, the main supplier reported no PFOA or PFOS. For a leak at the curb or in the street, call your water supplier. For anything on your side of the meter, call us.
Permits.
Bayville is an incorporated village, so plumbing permits go through the Village of Bayville's building department, not the town.
