The water company shames the billionaires of the Hamptons Waterworks

Tsk, tsk, Tisch!

The Suffolk County Water Authority has published a list of the largest water utilities in the Hamptons – and readers will be surprised to learn that there are many billionaires on it, with James Tische at the helm.

While the average home uses 130,000 gallons of water a year, the Southampton mansion owned by the president of Loews Corp. consumed seven million gallons last year.

Other aquatic criminals include media mogul James “Sprinkelstein” Finkelstein for four million and real estate guru Robert “The Tub Man” Taubman (we assume he bathes a lot) for six million.

Joann Richter – wife of Oscar-winning Hollywood screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, author of Pretty Mind and Cinderella Man – was also tossed in for her nine million gallons of food.

Co-founder of Sun Capital Partners, Marc Leder – known as “Hugh Hefner of the Hamptons” for throwing exaggerated parties in his 20-million-strong, 8,000-square-foot mansion – used seven million gallons. (In 2011, Page Six reported that at one of the events, “guests were playing naked in the pool and performing sexual acts, scantily-clad Russians danced on platforms, and men twirled lit torches to the rhythm of a pounding techno beat.”).

It arrives with the five million gallons of Louise Blouin, who previously ran artistic media empire including “Art + Auction” and “Contemporary Painter”. The $ 63 million house known as “La Dune” was in bankruptcy court in May.

The list appeared in the local media, Sag Harbor Express and East Hampton starwhich notes: “While estates with vast, meticulously manicured and elaborately landscaped grounds are certainly thirsty, the difference between a few million gallons and super-user requirements is almost always in geothermal heating and cooling in large mansions.”

These whales certainly like their water.

Meanwhile, the Suffolk County Water Authority issued a first stage water hazard warning in the cities of Southampton, Southold, East Hampton and Shelter Island.

A water service company asks people to reduce their water consumption by stopping irrigation at certain times and shortening shower time “to provide enough water for firefighting and other emergency purposes.”
