Patchogue, NY – Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro and Councilman Michael Loguercio have announced the Town’s completion of construction of a new 1-acre recharge basin, along with full restoration of 1,000 linear feet of Hagerman Avenue from Montauk Highway to Atlantic Avenue in Patchogue, as well as the installation of 960 feet of drainage pipe and 10 new drainage structures. 

The recharge basin is located at the intersection of Hagerman Avenue and Stanley Avenue in East Patchogue. Designed to collect storm runoff and allow it to naturally recharge into the groundwater, it serves as a crucial stormwater management and flood-mitigation infrastructure.

The construction of the recharge basin cost $2.2 million which was paid for through capital funding.


“Brookhaven Town maintains more than 1,200 recharge basins – each are intended to handle up to eight inches of rain, containing it until the rainwater can percolate back into the ground,” said Superintendent Losquadro. “The addition of this newest recharge basin on Hagerman Avenue will prevent localized flooding and filter pollutants out of the water. I am grateful to have received capital funding for this important project.”

“Thank you to the Highway Superintendent and his hardworking team on the completion of this recharge basin project,” said Councilman Loguercio. “We will continue to work to improve our infrastructure and address the drainage needs in our neighborhoods for our residents. We are grateful once again for their hard work for our community.”
