About 120 oceanfront homeowners in Water Mill, Bridgehampton and Sagaponack will again shell out more than $26 million this fall to have nearly 6 miles of beach widened across the front of their homes. A similar in project in 2013-14 has been celebrated as a huge success by the homeowners and coastal engineers who see such projects as a key to protecting the coastline from severe storms. More than 60 percent of the 2.5 million tons of sand that were pumped ashore a decade ago remains in the project reach and this winter the dredges will pump about 2 million more tons between Flying Point and Towline Road. FIRST COASTAL
