Here are the types of notices the NYC DEP will send to you:

Three Day Notice: A NYC DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) Three day notice is generally a notice to repair a defective (leaking) water main service. Depending on the severity of the leak the department may opt at their discretion to extend the period of the notice, or take swifter action if an emergency condition is being created by the water main leak. At Alex Figliolia Water & Sewer, we are here here for you to handle and repair any leaks quickly and address these notices.

Ten Day Notice:  This notice is generally issued after water main service has been shut off due to a failure to respond to a previous notice or emergency condition. A Ten day notice will result in a $500 – $1,000.00 charge appearing on a future water bill. If the NYC DEP continues to receive no response from the property owner the department can return to the site at a later date to permanently plug the water main service in question, but this rarely ever happens. Alex Figliolia Water & Sewer will handle your initial problems so no future fines or cease and desist service will occur.
