Drinking Water Supply and Quality Reports are prepared annually by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection in accordance with the New York State Sanitary Code and the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, which require all drinking water suppliers to provide the public with an annual statement describing the sources and quality of its water supply.
Watershed Annual Reports provide summary information about the watersheds, streams and reservoirs that are the sources of New York City's drinking water. They provide a general overview of the city's water resources, their condition during the year, and report on the Department of Environmental Protection's compliance with regulatory standards or guidelines. These reports are complementary to the New York City Drinking Water Supply and Quality Reports, also published annually.
Newsletter of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Water and Sewer Operations focused on Environmental Health and Safety.
This information booklet, also known as the Blue Book, has been prepared by the New York City Water Board to acquaint the public with its rate and billing policy and regulatory proposals for the fiscal year that begins July 1 and ends June 30, as well as the financial condition of the water and wastewater system and its budget for the upcoming year.
This report is compiled to satisfy requirements of the July 2007 United States Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) Filtration Avoidance Determination (FAD), which requires the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to submit a comprehensive annual report on the status of the watershed protection program. Under the filtration avoidance waivers that have been in effect since December 27, 1991, DEP produces and provides an extensive schedule of other reports, data and documents to the EPA and the New York State Department of Health (DOH). Further information on the programs discussed here can be found in the reports submitted pursuant to the May 1997, November 2002 and July 2007 FADs.
