The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) responds to reports of rising street water, backed-up sewers and low pressure. They use specialized tools, such as sewer cameras and listening devices, to determine if an issue lies in the city’s main line or your private service line.Â
If you receive a DEP 10-day notice, Harris Water Main & Sewer is here to help you understand what the notice means, complete the required repairs and meet compliance requirements before water service is interrupted. With over 108 years of experience serving NYC, our team responds quickly and guides you through every step.Â
Property owners are responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement of private sewer and water lines that run from their building to the city’s main line. Following an unresolved three-day notice, a 10-day notice is issued as a final warning before water service to a property is shut off.Â
By the time you receive a 10-day notice, prompt action is essential to avoid further enforcement.Â
After property owners ignore a three-day notice, a $1,000 water fine may be issued on their next water bill. If the required repairs are not completed by the due date of a 10-day notice, DEP crews may terminate water service to the property until the issue has been resolved. Beyond the inconvenience of losing running water, delayed repairs can allow the leak to worsen.Â
What may begin as a localized problem can quickly lead to extensive property damage, more complex repairs and higher overall costs. Addressing the issue immediately is the most effective way to protect your property and restore compliance.Â
