This division cleans, maintains, and manages repairs on hundreds of miles of storm and sanitary sewer lines, over 3,000 catch-basins, and 3,000 manholes City-wide. The Sewer Bureau is also responsible for executing the City’s Storm Water Management Pollution Prevention Program through inspection, monitoring, enforcement, and correction of sources of illicit discharge to our storm sewer system and waterways. They must be in accordance with our commitments to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), and US Department of Justice regarding compliance with the Federal Clean Water Act and New York State Environmental Laws.
