DEPs water supply system is comprised of 19 reservoirs and 3 controlled lakes throughout the systems 2000 square mile watershed that extends 125 miles north and west of the City.
New York Citys water and wastewater system is funded through the collection of water and sewer charges which are established and revised as needed by the independent Water Board. Each year DEP collects on behalf of the Board nearly $4.0 billion in revenue from 836000 ratepayers. These funds support DEPs operations and debt service. The debt service supports DEPs robust capital program to ensure the long term reliability of the system. Over the next ten years DEP plans to spend $29 billion across the system to upgrade wastewater treatment plants; reservoirs dams and other upstate assets; and in-City water mains and sewers including green infrastructure. DEP is also in the process of standing up a new Bureau of Coastal Resilience to plan and implement infrastructure that protects the City from the impacts of climate change and storm surge. The Budget Office plays a central role in ensuring adequate funds are available to meet our broad and critical mandate.
