Expert Water Meter Installation
The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) oversees the city’s water supply, sewers, water delivery, and wastewater treatment. They also handle water meter readings and charge water and sewer fees to NYC properties.
Here’s how it works:
- Properties are billed based on water meter readings.
- The water meters belong to the City of New York, but property owners are responsible for their installation and maintenance.
Important details:
- Any Licensed Master Plumber can install water meters, but few specialize in their installation, maintenance, and repair.
- DEP has very specific meter specifications.
- Not complying with DEP standards or filings can lead to hefty fines, such as attributed consumption charges (ACC), theft of service (TOS), or overestimated water and sewer bills.
To avoid these issues, property owners should hire a master plumber from NYC Water Meter for this work.
