Question & Answer

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT NYC WATER MAIN & SEWER WORK

What does NYC Water Main Services actually handle?

We handle 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. We manage the paperwork and agency process from start to sign-off.

How quickly can you respond to a DEP notice?

We review submitted DEP notices same day in most cases. Once we have the notice and property details, we assess what drawings and permits are required and begin coordinating the filing path. For 3-day and 10-day notices, time matters and we treat them accordingly.

Do I 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. We prepare those drawings and coordinate 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. We coordinate 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. If you have photos of the meter room or street conditions, those help. You can upload everything through our contact form and we will review and follow up.
