Question & Answer

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT NYC WATER MAIN & SEWER WORK

When should you bring NYC Water Main Services in?

NYC Water Main Services handles the drawings, permit filings, DEP and DOT submissions, agency coordination, and compliance documentation for water main work. The physical repair and installation work is performed by licensed contractors. NYC Water Main Services manages the paperwork and agency process from start to sign-off.

How quickly can you respond to a DEP notice?

NYC Water Main Services reviews submitted DEP notices same day in most cases. Once the notice and property details are in hand, NYC Water Main Services assesses what drawings and permits are required and begins coordinating the filing path. For 3-day and 10-day notices, time matters and they are treated accordingly.

Do you need drawings to respond to a DEP water main notice?

Yes. DEP typically requires water service replacement drawings prepared by a qualified party before approving repair or replacement work on a private water service line. NYC Water Main Services prepares those drawings and coordinates the submission so the agency review can move forward.

Can you coordinate both DEP and DOT permits for the same project?

Yes. Water main work that requires street or sidewalk access needs both a DEP approval and a DOT street opening permit. NYC Water Main Services coordinates both filings through properly licensed parties so the project does not stall between agencies.

What information do you need to get started?

The property address, borough, a copy of any DEP notice if one exists, and basic information about the existing water service condition. Photos of the meter room or street conditions help. Submit the contact form with the basics, then email the notice and photos to admin@nycwatermain.com and NYC Water Main Services will review and follow up.
