The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Department of Design and Construction (DDC) have completed the largest ever expansion of the Staten Island Bluebelt, an artificial wetland system which helps manage stormwater and reduce localized flooding. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has accepted DEP's Certification of Completed Construction for the $5 billion Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade. NYC tap water was awarded the top prize at the 2017 Regional Tap Water Taste Contest held at the American Museum of Natural History. Water-saving automatic shut-off timers and activation buttons have been installed on 400 spray showers at City playgrounds.
