Over the decades following its establishment, the district would be expanded as new developments were built or as requested by residents in areas without sewers. [2] [3] One such extension took place in the 1950s, shortly after the construction of the New Salem and Westgate sections of Port Washington. [3]
In 1931, the Port Washington Water Pollution Control District acquired a significant amount of the property consisting of Sunset Park, located in the heart of Port Washington. [4] It continues to operate as a public park, owned and operated by the district. [4]

In 2016, a $450,000 grant from New York was secured for connecting the North Hempstead Beach Park's sewer system to the sewer system operated by the Port Washington Water Pollution Control District. [6] At the time the $1.8 million project was announced, the park's sewer system was in poor condition and was over 40 years old. [6]
In 2023, the Port Washington Water Pollution Control District and the Port Washington Water District announced a partnership in implementing an initiative which plans to save roughly 625,000 gallons of water annually within their boundaries. [7]
Additionally, the Port Washington Water Pollution Control District is separate from the Nassau County Sewage System. [8]
