Electric, cable and telephone lines are installed in the roadbed of the streets. Electric service is provided by a direct burial system designed and installed by the Long Island Lighting Company (now LIPA) consisting of primary and secondary components designed to supply 200 amperes service to each lot. The on-site system is fed from pole mounted transformers located at the front of the property on Route 25. Electric service has been installed to the front of each lot.
Sewerage disposal on each lot has been approved by the Suffolk County Health Department after inspection of required test holes. Each lot owner must provide a septic tank and leeching pool system and have them inspected and approved by the Health Department.
