As the largest water and wastewater utility in the nation, DEP’s nearly 6,000 employees provide critical services to 8.5 million residents of New York City and more than one million residents in upstate New York. DEP is also responsible for improving quality of life in New York City by reducing air, noise, and hazardous materials pollution.
New York City’s 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 836,000 ratepayers. These funds support DEP’s operations and debt service. The debt service supports DEP’s 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.
The agency’s Budget Office manages DEP’s capital, expense, grant, and miscellaneous revenue budgets; prepares budget and financial analyses and reports; and coordinates the Agency’s budget and financial matters with the Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and other oversight agencies.
